while Longstreet, four miles in the rear, had to entrench against the Army of the Potomac under Meade.
That night General Lee held a council of war with Longstreet, Gordon, and Fitz. Lee,
Generaahone's divisions of Longstreet's corps, staunch in the midst of all our disasters, were holding Meade back in our rear, and could not be spared for the attack. and I would rather die a thousand deat which had been agreed on between General Gordon and himself, he desired to communicate with General Meade on the subject, and wished permission to pass through our lines as the shortest route.
I waand delivered, and the parties prepared to separate.
Lee, before parting, asked Grant to notify Meade of the surrender, fearing that fighting might break out on that front, and lives be uselessly lomplied with, and two Union officers were sent through the enemy's lines as the shortest route to Meade — some of Lee's officers accompanying them to prevent their being interfered with.
