ed in search of a position, and at 10 P. M. was formed in line and ordered to throw up works in that salient which proved so disastrous on the 12th following. By daylight of the 9th, in spite of the fatigue and loss of sleep on the night of the 7th, and the terrible march of the 8th, the entire brigade, with no tool, except the bayonet and tin-plate, was entrenched behind a good defensible rifle pit. This day was spent in strengthening the lines, scouting to the front, and that sleep so muchg, 13th December, 1862. The men quickly recognized their old comrades and felt much interest in assisting that gallant brigade. This report is written from memory, aided by a diary and a sketch of the battlefield of the 5th of May, made on the 7th, and both preserved to this day. The sketch, a copy of which is sent herewith, was made without instruments, consequently the distances are estimated; the relative positions as they apply to Jones, Battle, Steuart, and Stafford are correct, and sh

When General Grant commenced his change of base and turning operation on the evening of the 7th, General Lee, with firm reliance on the ability of a small body of his troops to hold heavy odds in check until he could bring assistance, sent Anderson, who had been promoted to the command of Longstreet's two divisions, to confront his columns at Spotsylvania Courthouse. Stuart, too, threw his cavairy across Grant's line of march on the Brock road. The enemy's cavalry (division) failing to dislodge Stuart, gave up the accomplishment of that work to the Fifth corps (Warren's). When Anders

Anderson's division joining it at the plank road on the left. Late on the evening of the 7th, after the battle had been fought and won, General R. H. Anderson, the senior major-general, was assigned to and had command of the corps till the following autumn when General Longstreet again reported for duty.

I should state that after Longstreet's fall a good many other brigades were under my command, but I forget now what troops they were; also that General Lee was near me giving verbal directions. Throughout the night of the 7th, our corps, commanded now by Anderson, was marching to Spotsylvania Courthouse, near which place it arrived about 8 o'clock next morning, and found our cavalry engaged with the enemy, infantry and cavalry, and hard pressed. Kershaw was leading, a
