Heck, Hill sent Ewell an engraved invitation on 6/30.

Hill’s note told him he was at Cashtown but Lee’s orders to Ewell were for him to move his corps either there or towards Gettysburg “as circumstances might dictate”. Ewell decided towards Cashtown but by a route so he could turn towards Gettysburg if need be.
