I Am Willing To Serve My Country,

We Entered Gettysburg In The Afternoon, Just In Time To Meet The Enemy Entering The Town, And In Good Season To Drive Him Back Before His Getting A Foothold.

They Will Attach You In The Morning And They Will Come Booming - Skirmishers Three Deep. You Will Have To Fight Like The Devil Until Supports Arrive.

The Zeal, Bravery, And Good Behavior Of The Officers And Men On The Night Of June 30, And During July 1, Was Commendable In The Extreme.

If I Have Any Choice I Would Prefer Western Troops.

I Am Willing To Serve My Country, But Do Not Wish To Sacrifice The Brave Men Under My Command.
