fense of Richmond. Very respectfully your obedient servant, U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General. dispositions were made for the grand assault the next day on the Bloody angle. Of that assault I have little to write. Grant had his back to the north, and enwrapped the V-shaped salient occupied by Lee. During the night three divisions of the Second Corps were to move to the left behind the Sixth and Fifth, and join the Ninth Corps in an assault at 4 A. M. on the 12th. Warren and Wright were to hold their corps in readiness to take part. We moved to the attack at 4:35 A. M. on the 12th, and captured Johnson and four thousand men from Ewell; also twenty pieces of artillery. At this time I was shot in the head and went to the rear. Another will tell of the incidents of our bloody but fruitless assault. General Burnside's headquarters, May 22d, at Bethel Church, near Milford, on the Mattapony River. From a War-time photograph. Struggling for the works at the bloody angle.
