dear Sir—you have requested me to give you my recollection of the wounding of General Longstreet in the Battle of the Wilderness.
As a member of his staff—I was one of his aidede-camp, I was within a few feet of him at the time he was wounded.
We were on our horses on the plank-road.
A few minutes previously I had suggested to him that he was exposing himself very much, I thought.
That is our businees, was his reply, which silenced me. When the volley, a shot from which wounded him, was fired, he fell from his horse heavily to the ground, and I thought he had been killed.
I went immediately to him and found him breathing.
Drs. J. S. Dorsey Cullen and Randolph Barksdale, of his medical staff, were immediately sent for and took him to the rear.
Your comrade,
