2301 - L Nov. 30; ed:2/1 - The theory that the recent attempt to burn
New York was made by Rebel emissaries from Richmond is proved by more
recent revelations.
A few weeks ago the Richmond WIIIG suggested a scheme for burning
"one of the chief cities of America."
The WHIG wrote "Nothing could be easier"... "that the men to execute
the work are already there"..." that 20 men with plans all pre-concerted
and means provided, selecting some dry windy night, might fire Boston
in a 100 places" and that "New York is worth 20 Richmonds."
It then recommended an appropriation of $1,000,000 by the rebel author-
ities for the "hiring of a gang of trusty and intelligent incendiaries."

2509 - L. July 27; ed:2/1 - Generals Lee and Johnston are working hand in
hand to defeat Sherman. Johnston already has falien back from Chattanooga
to get in position to be reinforced hy Lee, who has also sent off large
numbers to defeat Sherman in Georgia. It seems the South has suddenly de-
cided to invade such northern states as Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.
"This magnificent scheme hatched in Baltimore, will undoubtedly succeed,
unless General Grant concludes to modify it. We shall see what we shall
see," (5)
