It was not the want of cavalry that General Lee bewailed, for he enough of it had it been properly used.

Bump. Stuart was his go-to guy, and the second team was sadly lacking.

Stuart was his go-to-guy. The fact that Lee didn't go to Robertson shows that Lee wasn't that worried about being blind. For even the "2nd team" was better than just stumbling about.

Actually, Stuart thought Jones was the "best outpost officer" in his command; and that his watchfulness over his pickets and skill and energy in obtaining information was worthy of all praise. Stuart didn't like Jones personally...and Jones didn't seem to like anyone.
