I never heard that such was even contemplated. Again, he continues: General Longstreet's dispositions were not completed as early as was expected, but before notice could be sent to General Ewell, General Johnson had already become engaged, and it was too late to recall him; and then goes on to relate the causes of his failure, one of them being because the projected attack on

Dr. Joseph Jones, Secretary and Treasurer Southern Historical Society, New Orleans, Louisiana: Dear Sir — I have had the honor to receive your kind and interesting letter of the 2d instant and beg you will accept my best thanks for same.

These instructions were repeated on the 2d instant, but by a misapprehension of the officer conveying them, Early was directed to move unconditionally to General Lee.
