Letter signed

Title: to Winfield Scott

General Jesup writes to General Scott to defend his military actions in Florida during the second Seminole War, which violated Scott's planned campaign. Written in a disrespectful tone, he remarks that "I am not a boy to be lectured by you." Indicates that he will appeal to President Jackson. This was the beginning of a feud that ultimately led to Jesup's dismissal.
