to me for a brigade, I being in charge of the lines from the run back to near Petersburg; but the firing increasing on my own front, and ,being probably heard and properly appreciated by him, he sent me the note below: Headquarters, &c., March 31, 1865. Gen. Wilcox, Commanding, &c. : Maj.-Gen. Heth directs me to say that you must not compromise your line. He wants the brigade sent for by Maj. Starke, but you must be the judge as to whether or not you can spare it. Respectfully, W. H. Palmer, Assist. Adjutant-General. This left me free to choose between two evils, each equally dangerous; we, Gen. Heth and myself, were too weak to support the one, the other, or to maintain our own line if attacked with force and spirit. The brigade was not sent. At this time I was holding a line three or four miles long, with Cooke's, Davis',--and McComb's brigades of Heth's division, and Lane's and Thomas' of my division; on parts of my line the men were in one thin line ten feet apart,

eneral they refrained from taking into their own hands retaliation upon the enemy for the inhuman wrongs and outrages inflicted upon them in the wanton destruction of their property and homes. Peaceable inhabitants suffered no molestation. In a land of plenty they often suffered hunger and want. One-fourth of their number marched ragged and barefooted through towns in which it was well ascertained that the merchants had concealed supplies of clothing. In battle.they lacked none of that courage and spirit which has ever distinguished the soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia; and if complete success did not attend their efforts, their failure cannot be laid upon their shortcoming, but must be recognized and accepted as the will and decree of the Almighty Disposer of human affairs. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, R. H. Anderson, Major-General Commanding Division. Major W. H. Palmer, Assistant Adjutant and Inspector-General and Chief of Staff Third Army Corps.
