" " I have been specific in giving the details of this council, because " it has occurred to me as possible that some erroneous report of what " took place there may have given rise to the idea that I desired to " withdraw my army and retreat, and that I called my corps com- " manders together to know if they were in favor of retreating. " 2 18 " I should like to have the Committee, and I trust they will do so, " call upon all the principal officers I had upon that field the corps "commanders a...nd division commanders; that their attention should " be called to all the points to which I have alluded here ; and that " they should be specifically questioned as to their recollection and " views upon those points. " Here is the issue distinctly marked out in the statement of General Meade " The opinion of the council was unanimous, wliicli agreed "fully with my own views, that we should maintain our lines as they "were then held" as contrasted with that of General Doubleday, which is as follows: " On the evening of the 2d, after sending Pleasonton off, General " Meade called a council of war and put the question to the corps com- " manders whether they were in favor of remaining on the ridge or " retreating.
