Then came the XI corps in their old positions facing north. As on Thursday Wadsworth's division held the crest connecting Cemetery with Culp's Hill, and Geary's division, now once again intact, faced the assailants on the summit of Culp's Hill. Of the cavalry, Buford was at Westminster on the 3rd; Gregg with one strong division faced Stuart on the heights east of the Eock Creek, while Kilpatrick was to harass the right wing of the enemy with two brigades, and to connect Gregg with the right win...g of the Federal army by detaching Custer's brigade. There had been added to Kilpatrick's division Merritt's brigade of United States cavalry. Thus disposed, the army y presented a far more formidable front than on the previous ;. day. All its corps were present, and so posted as to be ' able quickly to reinforce any part of the line. Cavalry / guarded the flanks and the topography of the position was now well known to the Federal leaders. Orders in accordance with Meade's plan of defence were sent out to the different divisions at midnight and in part executed by the tired generals and staffs, but so great was the confusion engendered by the fighting, and so exhausted were four fifths of the Federal army that a general assault by the Confederates at dawn with all the troops who had not fought on the 2nd might well have captured the disputed heights, and possibly even have settled the fate of the campaign.
