Ewell (Benjamin S.) to Richard Ewell, 1865 November 29
Scope and Contents
Lyzinka’s poor relations “pecking” one, lack of money. People still don’t realize condition, or future. If Yankees don’t buy land, people will starve. What sort of school is Richard considering? If 200 young ladies, he will come; but 200 “wild boys from the West” will take consideration. Thinks he can find gun and will send it. Received check for $50 from Lyzinka for Lizzie, who will acknowledge it. If Lyzinka will send $10,000 to rebuild College it would help, for double the amount she can endow a professorship. P.S. re (Waterson’s?) editorship of Chattanooga Rebel.
