Part 5.

CHAPTER LIII
9/22

The enemy lost one division with its commander, one brigade and one regiment, with heavy losses elsewhere.( *30) Our losses were heavy, but, as stated, no whole company was captured.

At night Lee took a position in rear of his former one, and by the following morning he was strongly intrenched in it.
Warren's corps was now temporarily broken up, Cutler's division sent to Wright, and Griffin's to Hancock.

Meade ordered his chief of staff, General Humphreys, to remain with Warren and the remaining division, and authorized him to give it orders in his name.

She showed such unmistakable signs of being strongly Union that I stopped.
