HEAD-QUARTERS ARMY OF
THE POTOMAC
GETTYSBURG, 8.45 A. M.,
July 3, 1863.
All well and going on well with the Army. We had a great fight yesterday, the enemy
attacking and we completely repulsing them; both Armies Shattered. To-day at it again, with what result remains
to be seen. Army in fine spirits and
every one determined to do or die.
George and myself well. Reynolds
killed the first day. No other of your
friends or acquaintances hurt.
