als would take me on his staff. [To this General Meade promptly replied from the Headquarters of the Army of the Potomac.] Your note of the 10th inst. is received. I continue in the same disposition as when I wrote you on the 22d of last December. If you are anxious to see service or think your duty requires you to do so, I shall be very glad to avail myself of your services, and the best position for you is the one I indicated — that of Volunteer Aide. This will leave you free and indo attack him. Meade also crossed the river into Virginia. Lyman joined the army in the midst of the manoeuvres that ensued. It was a campaign of skirmishes and combats, but with no general battle before both armies went into winter quarters in December.] September 6th, 1863 I promised to tell you how I invited General Meade to go with me and see General Sykes. If I didn't know anything, I looked like a Commander-in-Chief, for I had the best horse and the best accoutrements, and as for clo

II. in winter quarters [toward the end of December, the army being then well settled in winter quarters, Lyman obtained leave of absence, passed Christmas at home, and returned to the army about the middle of January. He found Headquarters almost deserted, General Meade sick in Philadelphia with an attack of inflammation of the lungs, General Humphreys, and his tent-mate Rosencrantz, away on leave of absence, and Barstow sick and weak, with a cold on the lungs.] Headquarters, Army of Potomac January 23, 1864 Yesterday came General Humphreys, to my great content. His son, with Worth and myself, rode down to bid him welcome. Such a sea of mud round Brandy Station was enough to engulf the most hardy. There is no platform to get on; nothing but the driest spot in the mud. You should have seen the countenances of the unfortunate officers' wives, as they surveyed, from the height of the platform, this broad expanse of pap! Then the husband would appear, in great excitement, a

VIII. the end of the War [As the Army of the Potomac was now settling down to winter quarters before Petersburg, Meade chaffingly remarked to Lyman one day toward the end of December: I have a Christmas present for Mrs. Lyman--a certain worthless officer whom I shall send home to her. And that evening he gave him a 300-day leave, with the understanding that Lyman was to return with the opening of the active campaign in the spring. Toward the end of February, Lyman became restless, and fearing that operations might start in his absence, turned up at Headquarters on March 1. On going into dinner, he was kindly greeted by General Meade, who, poor man, although he had just come back from burying his son, managed to say playfully that he would have Lyman court-martialed for returning without orders. The Appomattox campaign opened in the spring, with the forces under Grant numbering 113,000, while those under Lee were only 49,000. T. L. Livermore, Numbers and Losses in the
