Gen. Jubal Early/
             Dear Sir / The enclosed
clipping I think contains the
germ of a strong & stirring
poem.  But I desire more
information upon the subject
& I thought possibly you could
give that information.
   Or could you tell me
in what war book on history
I could find the details
of this assault.  Any in-
-formation would be very
gratefully received by
        Yours Sincerely,
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Meriden CT.
Please return clipping.

Subject:  Ella Wheeler Wilcox letter

Dear Dr. Richard A. Edwards:
    Your letter of June 27 reached the Virginia Historical Society this
past week, but I have been out of the office a good bit and only have
gotten to attend to it today.  The Society has no objection to the
posting on your web site of a transcription of the letter of Ella
Wheeler Wilcox from the Early family papers in our holdings that you
mention.
    I am hopeful that for the immediate future, a transcription of the
letter, with appropriate citations to the Society as owner of the
original document, will suffice.  I will be pleased to send you a letter
to this effect for your records if you so desire.
    Regards,
        Lee Shepard
