Hood's letter, said Early, indicated the partial exee, the very clear and explicit statement by General Hood, which is a most valuable contribution to ter is that Early misinterpreted the fragment of Hood's letter. Early's chief premise was wrong and mony was added in the following year— 1880—when Hood's volume, entitled Advance and Retreat, was iss. This volume contained the entire letter from Hood, of which Longstreet had printed only an extrac. It may, at this point, be noted further that Hood's phrase concerning the time of the conversatioe to one writer, who published his views before Hood's letter became a part of the discussion.

f the same race and speaking the same tongue of those who held them in captivity until death relieved them of their heavy burden. The following list will show who are buried here, and undoubtedly will be read by many, who will recall to mind the names and acts of more than one that are interred in this lonely place. The list of names is copied from the headstones placed over each grave. The writer has omitted the word infantry after each name, that being understood by the reader: J. L.

re; batteries on the south side of the river were shelling the field until dark. About sundown the ground was cleared of the enemy and I made an effort to get off the field by using a gun for a crutch. I managed to reach the ambulance corps of Hood's Texas troops and was carried to their field hospital, near Old Cold Harbor, where I remained until the evening of the 29th without any attention. Hood's troops were badly cut up, and the surgeons were kept busy attending to their own wounded.Hood's troops were badly cut up, and the surgeons were kept busy attending to their own wounded. They were kept busy amputating arms and legs of the wounded; other wounded could not be attended to properly. On the evening of the 29th I was moved to the hospital in Manchester and placed in the roundhouse of the Danville railroad. I remained there until the last week in August, when I was given a furlough for thirty days. I came home and remained there for two years before I was able to rejoin my command. I have written this from memory. I kept no record at the time. May be in error

While marching through a piece of woods to his proper place, on the 2d, Wilcox became engaged with the enemy, and soon repulsed him. About 6 P. M. (too late to co-operate with McLaws and Hood, though no blame can attach to the brigadiers), the several brigades in the division were ordered to advance to the attack, in the order given above. Wilcox moved forward promptly, followed by Lang, who, in his turn, was followed by Wright. Each fought bravely and desperately, drove the enemy back to its front, and ran over several batteries and heaps of slain; but each, in its turn, was compelled, after almost unparalleled losses, to abandon the enterprise of carrying the impregnable posit
