"General, " I said to him, "if he breaks your line, what reserve have you?" "Not a regiment, " he replied. "And, " he added, "that has been my condition ever since the fighting commenced on the Rappahannock.

He said he had advised them to use the buds of sassafras and of grapevines as a substitute for vegetables, but that this was a poor substitute.
