He died in Bristol, Ma. in 1890.","The following is quoted from an obituary from the Herald of Gospel Liberty, June 26th, 1890 (included with the diary) and ancestry.com:\nA Messenger informed me yesterday of the death of Rev. Arthur Burt of Smith Mills, in the town of Dartmouth Mass. He fell asleep on the morning of May 5th. In company with Bro. B. S. Batchelor I drove over to his late residence to see his sorrowing family and arrange for his funeral, which will take place on Thursday, May 8th. Bro. Burt had been suffering for many months from heart trouble so that many times he would be obliged to sit down two or three times during the delivery of a sermon. His disease has increased in severity so that he was compelled to resign his pastorate some time since. Bro. Burt was born in England and was about 43 years old. He came to America when about 23 years of age. I do not know how long he has preached but most of his labor has been in New York and New Jersey. He came to Massachusetts about 14 months ago and has labored very acceptable until compelled to retire from his work. He married his wife in Cayuga County N.Y. where most of her friends reside. He leaves a wife and seven children, four sons and three daughters. Our brother was highly esteemed by all who knew him, but in our loss we are consoled by the though that he has exchanged a life of sickness and pain for a rest of bliss. He was conscious of his near approach to the end of the journey but was sustained by the hope of mortality. I. H.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He spent the last two years studying mathematics, which will never be of any service until he should become a teacher.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Ewell discusses family matters.

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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e(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.) \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eBenjamin 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. \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEwell 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eNote: Map of Richmond and vicinity on back of letter.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBenjamin 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEwell 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEwell writes a letter of farewell to his family.

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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMost of furniture gone.

Thanks Gantt for offer of help.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHe 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThanks for glasses. Sorry not to see her in Baltimore.  What will become of the South?\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eLyzinka'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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEncloses small check.  Things are gloomy, but to be expected.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eLeft off stamp on last letter, may cost $50 penalty unless she can put one on.

Becca has probably gone to Stony Lonesome.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAmount 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWill not go to Hampton-Sydney, but would like to go to a small farm to while away time.

Ben Weems has arrived, a sound fellow, but gauche.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eOn hand bill advertising the College. Richard didn't stay long enough at springs to benefit.

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.

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.

Humbug. Always a rebel. Means of living now as a plucked chicken is to feathers, but no regrets. Johnston the one great military leader.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Humbug. Always a rebel. Means of living now as a plucked chicken is to feathers, but no regrets. Johnston the one great military leader.

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.

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.
