To Major General Early:
General: General Jackson desires to know why he saw so many of your stragglers in the rear of your division today?
Signed: A.S. Pendleton, A.A.G.

Dear General Jackson:
In answer to your note I would state that I think it is probable that the reason you saw so many of my stragglers on the march today is due to the fact that you rode in the rear of my division.
Respectfully,
Jubal Early, Major General
