Scope and Contents

Benjamin Ewell thanks his uncle for his generosity, but doubts Mr. Ewell will let Richard come to him. Ewell will not stay in the Army. There is no chance to advance unless there is a war. He may go into Legal Studies, having ambition and political interest. However, lacking money, he may set other goals. The possibility of war with France might change the situation.
