To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was prompted to this course not so much from personal consideration, as from a desire to have justice done to General Williams and his division. Although Meade professed the warmest friendship for me, and the ut most confidence in me, not only during the entire battle, but at all times subsequent to it while I remained in his army, yet in his report he utterly ignores me. That he did repose this confidence in me, and that he placed the right wing entirely under my control, I have abundant wri...tten evidence now in my possession. In proof of this I enclose a copy of an order sent me during the battle, showing that he had sent part of Sedgwick's corps to me, and that without visiting me or my portion of the line, he wished me to place it in a central position where he could use it as soon as I could spare it. I also enclose a copy of an order received at ten twenty A. M. , July second, directing me to move from the strong position we then held, and with the Fifth and Twelfth Corps, then under my command, and the Sixth which was hourly expected, to attack the enemy.
