The lack of funds keeps him from coming home for vacation. He worries over Congress's changes for West Point. He asks her to please make five more shirts.","Benjamin Ewell discusses family matters. Exams are over. Life at West Point is confining. He will not go to Tennessee, but is grateful for the other.","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.","(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. ","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.","Note: Map of Richmond and vicinity on back of letter.","Benjamin discusses the people and land of east Tennessee, as well as the Lousiana Volunteers. He says the Confederates will win if not greatly outnumbered. Uncle Dick should come; he is needed by the Army.","Ewell notes that he is glad Uncle Dick didn't come. The Yankees grow bolder, stealing horses. He hopes the Yankees will not be hard on Williamsburg in consequence of new attacks.

It its destruction is truly important to success, Ewell would let it go down without a murmur.","Ewell writes a letter of farewell to his family. Battle is imminent.","Ewell writes of the Battle at Big Black River near Vicksburg. 24,000 men against 75,000 and they were at a disadvantage being hemmed in by the river and a small bridge.

Didn't know Lowndes Jackson had information. Sends $100. Lizzie hasn't returned to Prince Edward, but may settle near here.","There are indications this letter may have been written by Richard S. Ewell rather than Benjamin. \nLife as prisoner. Accused of burning Richmond, but mob did it.  No troops and citizens refused to form constabulary. Story of capture.

G, glad she hadn't come south.","Thanks for letter. Did not apply for pardon at suggestion of Gen. Patrick, U.S.A., not in service of Confederate Army at surrender. Took oath as soon as possible. Humbug. Always a rebel. Means of living now as a plucked chicken is to feathers, but no regrets. Johnston the one great military leader. Thanks Gantt for offer of help.","He and Lizzie will try to attend Harriot's wedding, but short of money.  Advice on marriage to Harriot, hold her tongue which often ridicules, especially as Major Turner is Catholic and she will convert.","Thanks for glasses. Sorry not to see her in Baltimore.  What will become of the South?","Lyzinka's poor relations \"pecking\" one, lack of money. People still don't realize condition, or future. If Yankees don't buy land, people will starve. What sort of school is Richard considering?  If 200 young ladies, he will come; but 200 \"wild boys from the West\" will take consideration. Thinks he can find gun and will send it. Received check for $50 from Lyzinka for Lizzie, who will acknowledge it.  If Lyzinka will send $10,000 to rebuild College it would help, for double the amount she can endow a professorship.

Becca has probably gone to Stony Lonesome.","Amount to be paid by Richard, like Vicar of Wakefield to get rid of poor relations, but bid higher. Richard's health might be better if he led more active life. See a good doctor. Perhaps go to Europe till political crisis is over. Charges of treason are nonsense.

Lee was not a great leader! Wants data to support this.","Will not go to Hampton-Sydney, but would like to go to a small farm to while away time.  Washington College at the moment carries the day- but not for long; if Lee tried, college will be political, Bessie well.","Had a book belonging to Georgetown Convent which was carried off with rest of his books, so he is in Convent's debt.

He spent the last two years studying mathematics, which will never be of any service until he should become a teacher.","Benjamin Ewell discusses family matters. The lack of funds keeps him from coming home for vacation. He worries over Congress's changes for West Point. He asks her to please make five more shirts.","Benjamin Ewell discusses family matters. Exams are over. Life at West Point is confining. He will not go to Tennessee, but is grateful for the other.","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.","(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. ","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.","Note: Map of Richmond and vicinity on back of letter.","Benjamin discusses the people and land of east Tennessee, as well as the Lousiana Volunteers. He says the Confederates will win if not greatly outnumbered. Uncle Dick should come; he is needed by the Army.","Ewell notes that he is glad Uncle Dick didn't come. The Yankees grow bolder, stealing horses. He hopes the Yankees will not be hard on Williamsburg in consequence of new attacks. He writes had Fort Magruder had been where it ought, Williamsburg could have been saved. It its destruction is truly important to success, Ewell would let it go down without a murmur.","Ewell writes a letter of farewell to his family. Battle is imminent.","Ewell writes of the Battle at Big Black River near Vicksburg. 24,000 men against 75,000 and they were at a disadvantage being hemmed in by the river and a small bridge. He says losing Vicksburg was an unexcusable blunder. He notes that Tennessee regrets their secession. The Yankees are not gentlemen.","Thanks for genealogy. Didn't know Lowndes Jackson had information. Sends $100. Lizzie hasn't returned to Prince Edward, but may settle near here.","There are indications this letter may have been written by Richard S. Ewell rather than Benjamin. \nLife as prisoner. Accused of burning Richmond, but mob did it.  No troops and citizens refused to form constabulary. Story of capture.  Louis should live in Europe, especially England. Lyzinka now in Nashville. If she meets General Hitchcock or Auger [?], ask Brown to be put with general officers. Get Ben to find his luggage and grandfather's sword. Though \"the performance of that wretch Booth\" will permit no indulgence for officers.","Most of furniture gone. Thanks for offer of Stony Lonesome furniture, but no place to put it, and future uncertain. Silver left with the Gatts, also blankets and valuables originally left with Wallers. G, glad she hadn't come south.","Thanks for letter. Did not apply for pardon at suggestion of Gen. Patrick, U.S.A., not in service of Confederate Army at surrender. Took oath as soon as possible. Humbug. Always a rebel. Means of living now as a plucked chicken is to feathers, but no regrets. Johnston the one great military leader. Thanks Gantt for offer of help.","He and Lizzie will try to attend Harriot's wedding, but short of money.  Advice on marriage to Harriot, hold her tongue which often ridicules, especially as Major Turner is Catholic and she will convert.","Thanks for glasses. Sorry not to see her in Baltimore.  What will become of the South?","Lyzinka's poor relations \"pecking\" one, lack of money. People still don't realize condition, or future. If Yankees don't buy land, people will starve. What sort of school is Richard considering?  If 200 young ladies, he will come; but 200 \"wild boys from the West\" will take consideration. Thinks he can find gun and will send it. Received check for $50 from Lyzinka for Lizzie, who will acknowledge it.  If Lyzinka will send $10,000 to rebuild College it would help, for double the amount she can endow a professorship. P.S. re (Waterson's?) editorship of Chattanooga Rebel.","Encloses small check.  Things are gloomy, but to be expected.","Left off stamp on last letter, may cost $50 penalty unless she can put one on.

Becca has probably gone to Stony Lonesome.","Amount to be paid by Richard, like Vicar of Wakefield to get rid of poor relations, but bid higher. Richard's health might be better if he led more active life. See a good doctor. Perhaps go to Europe till political crisis is over. Charges of treason are nonsense. If Negroes restored to former position, love and good will will return. People in Williamsburg not working to support themselves, need Yankees here [near?] for industry. Send notes of campaigns. Lee was not a great leader! Wants data to support this.","Will not go to Hampton-Sydney, but would like to go to a small farm to while away time.  Washington College at the moment carries the day- but not for long; if Lee tried, college will be political, Bessie well.","Had a book belonging to Georgetown Convent which was carried off with rest of his books, so he is in Convent's debt. Family matters in Tennessee.  Sends $70, please acknowledge.","Campbell feels badly over loss of management of farm. Customs of Dutch and English on patrimony.

Ben Weems has arrived, a sound fellow, but gauche.","On hand bill advertising the College. Richard didn't stay long enough at springs to benefit.

Ewell. 3 October 1870.","Ewell writes that Judge Crump needs the exact statement on General Ewell's orders to burn the tobacco warehouses.

Tom arrived in Nashville. Tasker is joining a law office in Marlboro.","Postscript signed: R. L. E.","The letter includes a check drawn by Elizabeth Ewell payable to Benjamin S. Ewell dated September 18, 1838.","Elizabeth asks Benjamin about his married life and their new home. She tells him to look after William most carefully, buy him a bed and enough bedding. Ben's horse is well looked after. Mrs. Smith is most unwell after her daughter's death from a malignant fever. She cannot visit him because of lack of money, but such a visit would be good for Liz.","Postscript by A. Gantt.","Elizabeth sends family news. Ben Gantt is in Norfolk for three months while the Delaware is refitted. She requests that Ben ask him to visit. The Temperance Movement is growing. Richard will lose out of his United States Bank notes since the bank failed. She includes Lord Byron's view of Catholicism. Richard is at the garrison in Arkansas.","Elizabeth writes that Becca will come if really needed, but the trip is too expensive for pleasure, nor can Elizabeth afford to visit herself.

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.","(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. ","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.

Didn't know Lowndes Jackson had information. Sends $100. Lizzie hasn't returned to Prince Edward, but may settle near here.","There are indications this letter may have been written by Richard S. Ewell rather than Benjamin. \nLife as prisoner. Accused of burning Richmond, but mob did it.  No troops and citizens refused to form constabulary. Story of capture.  Louis should live in Europe, especially England. Lyzinka now in Nashville. If she meets General Hitchcock or Auger [?], ask Brown to be put with general officers. Get Ben to find his luggage and grandfather's sword. Though \"the performance of that wretch Booth\" will permit no indulgence for officers.","Most of furniture gone. Thanks for offer of Stony Lonesome furniture, but no place to put it, and future uncertain. Silver left with the Gatts, also blankets and valuables originally left with Wallers. G, glad she hadn't come south.","Thanks for letter. Did not apply for pardon at suggestion of Gen. Patrick, U.S.A., not in service of Confederate Army at surrender. Took oath as soon as possible. Humbug. Always a rebel. Means of living now as a plucked chicken is to feathers, but no regrets. Johnston the one great military leader. Thanks Gantt for offer of help.","He and Lizzie will try to attend Harriot's wedding, but short of money.  Advice on marriage to Harriot, hold her tongue which often ridicules, especially as Major Turner is Catholic and she will convert.","Thanks for glasses. Sorry not to see her in Baltimore.  What will become of the South?","Lyzinka's poor relations \"pecking\" one, lack of money. People still don't realize condition, or future. If Yankees don't buy land, people will starve. What sort of school is Richard considering?  If 200 young ladies, he will come; but 200 \"wild boys from the West\" will take consideration. Thinks he can find gun and will send it. Received check for $50 from Lyzinka for Lizzie, who will acknowledge it.  If Lyzinka will send $10,000 to rebuild College it would help, for double the amount she can endow a professorship.

Becca has probably gone to Stony Lonesome.","Amount to be paid by Richard, like Vicar of Wakefield to get rid of poor relations, but bid higher. Richard's health might be better if he led more active life. See a good doctor. Perhaps go to Europe till political crisis is over. Charges of treason are nonsense. If Negroes restored to former position, love and good will will return. People in Williamsburg not working to support themselves, need Yankees here [near?] for industry. Send notes of campaigns. Lee was not a great leader! Wants data to support this.","Will not go to Hampton-Sydney, but would like to go to a small farm to while away time.  Washington College at the moment carries the day- but not for long; if Lee tried, college will be political, Bessie well.","Had a book belonging to Georgetown Convent which was carried off with rest of his books, so he is in Convent's debt. Family matters in Tennessee.  Sends $70, please acknowledge.","Campbell feels badly over loss of management of farm. Customs of Dutch and English on patrimony.

Ewell dated September 18, 1838.","Elizabeth asks Benjamin about his married life and their new home. She tells him to look after William most carefully, buy him a bed and enough bedding. Ben's horse is well looked after. Mrs. Smith is most unwell after her daughter's death from a malignant fever. She cannot visit him because of lack of money, but such a visit would be good for Liz.","Postscript by A. Gantt.","Elizabeth sends family news. Ben Gantt is in Norfolk for three months while the Delaware is refitted. She requests that Ben ask him to visit. The Temperance Movement is growing. Richard will lose out of his United States Bank notes since the bank failed. She includes Lord Byron's view of Catholicism. Richard is at the garrison in Arkansas.","Elizabeth writes that Becca will come if really needed, but the trip is too expensive for pleasure, nor can Elizabeth afford to visit herself.

The lack of funds keeps him from coming home for vacation. He worries over Congress's changes for West Point. He asks her to please make five more shirts.","Benjamin Ewell discusses family matters. Exams are over. Life at West Point is confining. He will not go to Tennessee, but is grateful for the other.","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.","(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. ","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.","Note: Map of Richmond and vicinity on back of letter.","Benjamin discusses the people and land of east Tennessee, as well as the Lousiana Volunteers. He says the Confederates will win if not greatly outnumbered. Uncle Dick should come; he is needed by the Army.","Ewell notes that he is glad Uncle Dick didn't come. The Yankees grow bolder, stealing horses. He hopes the Yankees will not be hard on Williamsburg in consequence of new attacks. He writes had Fort Magruder had been where it ought, Williamsburg could have been saved. It its destruction is truly important to success, Ewell would let it go down without a murmur.","Ewell writes a letter of farewell to his family. Battle is imminent.","Ewell writes of the Battle at Big Black River near Vicksburg. 24,000 men against 75,000 and they were at a disadvantage being hemmed in by the river and a small bridge. He says losing Vicksburg was an unexcusable blunder. He notes that Tennessee regrets their secession. The Yankees are not gentlemen.","Thanks for genealogy. Didn't know Lowndes Jackson had information. Sends $100. Lizzie hasn't returned to Prince Edward, but may settle near here.","There are indications this letter may have been written by Richard S. Ewell rather than Benjamin. \nLife as prisoner. Accused of burning Richmond, but mob did it.  No troops and citizens refused to form constabulary. Story of capture.  Louis should live in Europe, especially England. Lyzinka now in Nashville. If she meets General Hitchcock or Auger [?], ask Brown to be put with general officers. Get Ben to find his luggage and grandfather's sword. Though \"the performance of that wretch Booth\" will permit no indulgence for officers.","Most of furniture gone. Thanks for offer of Stony Lonesome furniture, but no place to put it, and future uncertain. Silver left with the Gatts, also blankets and valuables originally left with Wallers. G, glad she hadn't come south.","Thanks for letter. Did not apply for pardon at suggestion of Gen. Patrick, U.S.A., not in service of Confederate Army at surrender. Took oath as soon as possible. Humbug. Always a rebel. Means of living now as a plucked chicken is to feathers, but no regrets. Johnston the one great military leader. Thanks Gantt for offer of help.","He and Lizzie will try to attend Harriot's wedding, but short of money.  Advice on marriage to Harriot, hold her tongue which often ridicules, especially as Major Turner is Catholic and she will convert.","Thanks for glasses. Sorry not to see her in Baltimore.  What will become of the South?","Lyzinka's poor relations \"pecking\" one, lack of money. People still don't realize condition, or future. If Yankees don't buy land, people will starve. What sort of school is Richard considering?  If 200 young ladies, he will come; but 200 \"wild boys from the West\" will take consideration. Thinks he can find gun and will send it. Received check for $50 from Lyzinka for Lizzie, who will acknowledge it.  If Lyzinka will send $10,000 to rebuild College it would help, for double the amount she can endow a professorship.

Becca has probably gone to Stony Lonesome.","Amount to be paid by Richard, like Vicar of Wakefield to get rid of poor relations, but bid higher. Richard's health might be better if he led more active life. See a good doctor. Perhaps go to Europe till political crisis is over. Charges of treason are nonsense. If Negroes restored to former position, love and good will will return. People in Williamsburg not working to support themselves, need Yankees here [near?] for industry. Send notes of campaigns. Lee was not a great leader! Wants data to support this.","Will not go to Hampton-Sydney, but would like to go to a small farm to while away time.  Washington College at the moment carries the day- but not for long; if Lee tried, college will be political, Bessie well.","Had a book belonging to Georgetown Convent which was carried off with rest of his books, so he is in Convent's debt.

Ewell. 3 October 1870.","Ewell writes that Judge Crump needs the exact statement on General Ewell's orders to burn the tobacco warehouses.

Tom arrived in Nashville. Tasker is joining a law office in Marlboro.","Postscript signed: R. L. E.","The letter includes a check drawn by Elizabeth Ewell payable to Benjamin S. Ewell dated September 18, 1838.","Elizabeth asks Benjamin about his married life and their new home. She tells him to look after William most carefully, buy him a bed and enough bedding. Ben's horse is well looked after. Mrs. Smith is most unwell after her daughter's death from a malignant fever. She cannot visit him because of lack of money, but such a visit would be good for Liz.","Postscript by A. Gantt.","Elizabeth sends family news. Ben Gantt is in Norfolk for three months while the Delaware is refitted. She requests that Ben ask him to visit. The Temperance Movement is growing. Richard will lose out of his United States Bank notes since the bank failed. She includes Lord Byron's view of Catholicism. Richard is at the garrison in Arkansas.","Elizabeth writes that Becca will come if really needed, but the trip is too expensive for pleasure, nor can Elizabeth afford to visit herself.

His mother died when he was five years old and the family left New Jersey a few years later. Likely they joined the Quaker community which had established itself in Alexandria in the 1850s, the pacifist Woodlawn Quakers. This group lived near the village of Accotink, a place mentioned several times in Robert's autobiography. According to a history of the Alexandria Quaker Meeting by Martha Claire Catlin, the group befriended and supported the economic independence and land ownership of the free African Americans in the area.
