In like manner, no such orders were given during the Atlanta campaign, and the disasters that befell the Army of Tennessee after General Johnston was relieved, clearly demonstrated that they ought not to have been given.

Any assertion I have herein made I am fully prepared to prove. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Benj. S. Ewell.
