On July 1st Rodes's division came upon the enemy near Gettysburg 1863, and received orders to report to Major-General Rodes, who ordered me to report to Lieutenantgaging hotly what I afterwards learned was General Rodes's division. I immediately brought twelved with A. P. Hill's corps when we arrived.

t had leisure to do before. On the 17th of September I moved two divisions — Rodes's and Gordon's — from Stevenson's Depot, where they, together with Breckenridgereek was burned by a brigade of cavalry sent there. On the evening of the 18th Rodes was moved back to Stevenson's Depot and Gordon to Bunker Hill, with orders to shed me that the enemy's cavalry had appeared on the Berryville road. I ordered Rodes, Gordon and Breckenridge to have their divisions under arms, ready to move to Rim, and when their columns commenced advancing on Ramseur, I attacked them with Rodes's and Gordon's divisions, and drove them back with great slaughter — the artillagglers and skulkers. Wharton's (Breckenridge's) division lost six colors, and Rodes's division captured two. Rodes's division made a very gallant charge, and he waRodes's division made a very gallant charge, and he was killed conducting it.

The return of Rodes's division made at Carlisle a few days before the battle, shows a decrease of five per cent. in his strength as compared with May 31. These are the only two divisions whose returns near the date of the battle have been found, so far as I know. To sum up — Stuart's cavalry was increased by 3,000 after May 31, but like the Federal cavalry had been seriously lessened by severe marching and fighting. If the Federal cavalry could only muster 12,000 out of 16,000 on July 1, Stuart could not hav

On the night of June 30th, Rodes's division, which I accompanied, was at Heidlen repulsed, and Carter's artilley battalion of Rodes's division had opened on the flank of the enemder towards the town.
