Scope and Contents

Ewell writes that he cannot reconcile two laws, referring to the raising of troops. He asks which is valid. The answer by S. Bassett French, aide de camp, dated February 26, 1862, on back of sheet, notes that Virginia law rather than Congress is binding. If 20 in a camp reenlist, he will fill in the rest of the numbers.
