Strana 189 - If you find that he is moving northward, and that two brigades can guard the Blue Ridge and take care of your rear, you can move with the other three into Maryland, and take position on General Ewell's right, place yourself in communication with him, guard his flank, keep him informed of the enemy's movements, and collect all the supplies you can for the use of the army.
Strana 202 - You will, however, be able to judge whether you can pass around their army without hindrance, doing them all the damage you can, and cross the river east of the mountains.

Strana 201 - Please advise me of the condition of affairs before you leave, and order General Hampton — whom I suppose you will leave here in command — to report to me at Millwood, either by letter or in person, as may be most agreeable to him. Most respectfully, JAMES LONGSTREET, Lieutenant-General.
Strana 5 - Rebellion ! foul, dishonouring word, Whose wrongful blight so oft has stain'd The holiest cause that tongue or sword Of mortal ever lost or gain'd. How many a spirit, born to bless, Hath sunk beneath that withering name, Whom but a day's — an hour's success Had wafted to eternal fame...
Strana 185 - It was expected that as soon as the Federal army should cross the Potomac, General. Stuart would give notice of its movements, and nothing having been heard from him since our entrance into Maryland, it was inferred that the enemy had not yet left Virginia.
