More of Gen. Winder's men came with a Mr. Stone, whom they
knew and vouched for, and who wanted a passport merely to Norfolk. I asked if
it was not his design to go farther. They said yes, but that Gen. Winder would
write to Gen. Huger to let him pass by way of Fortress Monroe. I refused, and
great indignation was manifested.
