Excerpt from The General's Double: A Story of the Army of the Potomac
My dear Sir, - The colonel has received your letter asking for the full particulars of the death of your gallant son, one of the last to fall on that fatal Sunday afternoon. I am spending the morning at the bedside of my commanding officer, for he himself is flat on his back, disabled by his wounds, and he has asked me to reply.
The papers have told you how hopefully we marched from Centreville, and with what enthusiasm the attack began. Of course, we know now that it was intended that General Hunter's column should open the ball much earlier in the morning, and that the heights back of the turnpike should have been assaulted soon after sunrise, but it seemed nearly noon before our brigade commander led us through the ford and we pitched in to the support of the attack. You have read, too, how successful we were at first.
