Lee's stroke had resulted in aphasia, rendering him unable to speak. It is felt Douglas Southall Freeman embellished Lee's final moments, to add romance to his dying moments. The family and four attending physicians stated his last words had been on28 September 1870, he died on October 12, 1870 and that he had no recorded last words.
