That dealer found & sold the original to a wealthy collector. My son got to carry & deliver that desk! He was so excited that he touched something that had been touched by Lee. Yes, very few did get to return home, but the majority of the Confederate troops were then marched to D.C. for the formal surrender and release. Lee was just such an honorable man and lived many many years after the war afraid they would come and arrest him for his part in the war.
