As my acting aid he was always ready for any duty, and behaved very gallantly at Chancellorsville, where he was killed in the charge on the morning of the 3d of May.

Johnston. My last aid was Captain Everard B. Meade, of Richmond, Va., who first volunteered and afterwards enlisted for the war as a private in Company F, Twenty-first Virginia Regiment.

On the 12th May, at Spotsylvania Court-house, under Nicholson, they were kept out a long time in front of the salient to the left of the Fredericksburg road, where they behaved with great gallantry in the presence of General Lee, and were complimented by him on the field.
