everything on our part of the line became as unquiet as possible, was the last one written by General Meade until August 12, with the exception of a few lines on July 1 announcing his having been wounded the previous evening.

First and Eleventh Corps were in great danger, Besides numerous reports, the following brief communication reached me, which accidentally fell into my hands:— July 1, Gettysburg, General Sickles:-- General Doubleday, (First corps) says for God's sake come up with all speed, they are pressing us hard. H. T., Lee, A. D. C. decisive contest that must occur on the following day. It appears that General Meade had issued a circular (of which I saw several copies) on the morning of Wednesday, July 1, to all his commanders, stating that his advance had accomplished all the objects contemplated—namely, the relief of Harrisburg and Philadelphia—and that he gaged. It is strange that General Meade should make no mention in his report of this singular and most important fact: That he issued a plan of campaign on Wednesday, July 1, directing his whole army to retire and take up the defensive on Pipe Creek almost at the moment that his left flank was fiercely struggling with the right w<

undwork for this report that I had directed an order to retreat. On the evening of the 2d of July, after the battle of that day had ceased, and darkness had set in, being aware of the very heavy losses of the First and Eleventh Corps on the 1st of July, and knowing how severely the Third Corps, the Fifth Corps, and other portions of the army had suffered in the battle of the 2d of July—in fact, as subsequently ascertained, out of the 24,000 men killed, wounded, and missing, which was the amo took command of it on the 28th of June; that the corps were widely separated, feeling for the enemy, preparatory to concentration; and that battle evidently could not be long postponed, as in point of fact the first day's encounter was on the 1st of July. It is strange that General Doubleday, upon having his suspicions aroused just before the battle of Gettysburg, did not discard the unworthy thought upon which they turned with regard to General Meade, if not from the point of view of being u
