Scope and Contents

Ewell writes that Judge Crump needs the exact statement on General Ewell's orders to burn the tobacco warehouses. Was the order not made twice by General Lee, "ill judged, harsh, and unnecessary." The general's reputation is at stake. Ewell asks how the Scotchmen are working out and would he please come for a month's visit.
