Ewell (Benjamin S.), at West Point, New York, to Rebecca L. Ewell, at Bladensburgh, Prince George's County, Maryland, 1838 February 28
(This letter is likely dated as 1836. Lizinka was born in 1820 and she is mentioned as being age 16. Ewell was not at West Point, nor Rebecca at Bladensburgh, in 1838.)
Benjamin writes he has dispersed some pictures and kept only good ones. They discuss dyspepsia, a "many headed monster". The war with France has been averted. Lizinka enjoyed Washington too much for a girl so young. He was riding with a French lady when her horse bolted, which led to rumors of his elopment.
