To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It contains nothing of the kind; it is a precautionary order to be acted on if a necessity should occur. Gen. Sherman was too well acquainted with what was transpiring in the army of his opponent, not to know that Gen. Hampton at the time that order was given was not in command — that order is dated on the 14th. Gen. Hampton _j was put in command on the night of the \6iiA; he therefore//-* could have had no authority to issue such a one; he was only i^-^i.«-- assisting Beauregard. How that orde...r was printed in his/(j^ t name I know not, and cannot therefore speak. I presume it . could be explained, but for my purposes it is not necessary. It unquestionably is not such an order as Sherman stated that he saw — no rolling into the streets — and by it no one was author- ized to fire the cotton. It was one of precaution, to be acted on under a contingency, and of that contingency Gen. Hamp- ton was to be the judge. No authority was given to any one to burn it, nor could it have been burnt but by the order of Hampton, who was to judge of the necessity.
