ert of action on that day. ... Respectfully, Charles Marshall. Big Island, Bedford, Va., May 31, 1875. Dear General,-- . . . I do not recollect of hearing of an order to attack at sunrise, or at any other designated hour, pending the operations at Gettysburg during the first three days of July, 1863... Yours truly, A. L.
