Very warm. . . . . Afternoon, sent for, Division
Headquarters. We storm the works tomorrow at daylight. Our Division leads. I
hardly dare hope to live through it. God have mercy. . . . . If I could only
ride, or had two legs, so I could lead my brigade, I believe they would
follow me anywhere. I will try as it is. God have pity on dear mother, Agnes,
and all loved ones.
