Letter, William Berkeley Lewis to Ralph E. W. Earl, 1818 November 2
In the first of these letters, W. B. Lewis tells Ralph Earl that the orders Earl sent were not the orders that he wanted. He goes on to explain that he needs copies of the orders that the Secretary of War sent to General Gaines. In the second letter, A. J. Donelson describes his and Andrew Jackson's movements, relates military news, expresses his distaste for Blakely, Alabama (from whence he is writing), apologizes for leaving before his portrait was completed, and sends his respects to Earl and several others.
