love the man, and there began a friendship that lasted throughout the war, and has continued to this day. Many of us were anxious to see Colonel Munford promoted. When I guardedly referred to this no word of complaint fell from his lips. Only the good of the service and an ardent desire to contribute all in his power to this end seemed to move him. The Wilderness campaign opened in May, 1864, and our deliberations at Orange Courthouse were ended by a summons from headquarters to join our respective commands. I can never forget a prophetic remark of Rev. J. C. Hiden at Orange. As we mounted our horses he said; I hear the guns now. The next thing I expect to learn will be that you gentlemen are killed. In a few days we saw Captain Fox, and Hammond—than whom I never knew more gallant men—fall near the glorious Stuart at Yellow Tavern. At Trevillian's the noble-hearted Carter fell, leading the 3rd regiment, boys whom he loved so well, and every one of whom he could call by n

le Wickham, gave many incidents that recalled vividly those dark and bloody days. Wickham, who had been brigadier-general since September, 1863, was in charge of his own brigade. He was a member of the Confederate Congress at the same time that he was a general in the army. This accounts for the fact that Colonel Munford is so often mentioned as commanding the brigade. The temptation is very great to stop here and tell of Todd's Tavern and Jarrall's Mill and Mitchell's Shop and Yellow Tavern, Meadow Bridge and Haw's Shop and second Cold Harbor, where we neared the border land of independence, but I am reminded that the infantry needs rest. It was our business to see that they enjoyed in absolute security Nature's sweet restorer, and to bear with Christian patience and fortitude their facetious jokes at our expense. At the Trevillian fight Colonel Munford, with the 2d regiment, captured Custer's batteries with his headquarter's wagon and his letters. I had in my possessi

A midnight charge [from the times-dispatch, May 16, 1904.] And the death of General J. E. B. Stuart. He proposed to advance on the enemy's Camp at Yellow Tavern. Made a Reconnoisance but found the Federal pickets wide awake. [For account of death of General Stuart, see Southern Historical Society Papers, Vols. XXIX, p. 22; XXX, p. 236.] While the article following deals, in part, with the much controverted point as to how Jeb Stuart received his death wound, a far more we could see them moving out, and the General commenced firing into their camp with that gun, as fast as possible, and it got away from there in a hurry. From that time on we had some skirmishing until the general engagement commenced, near Yellow Tavern. The General kept me busy that day carrying orders. It was the hardest and hottest day's work I ever did. It was one of the hardest fought battles during the mar. I was told by one of our commanding officers—one who was in a position to kno
