Volume Two

CHAPTER L
29/30

Early says in his Memoirs that if we had discovered the confusion in his lines we might have brought fresh troops to his great discomfort.

Many officers, who had not been attacked by Early, continued coming to my headquarters even after Sedgwick had rectified his lines a little farther to the rear, with news of the disaster, fully impressed with the idea that the enemy was pushing on and would soon be upon me.
During the night all of Lee's army withdrew within their intrenchments.
On the morning of the 7th General Custer drove the enemy's cavalry from Catharpin Furnace to Todd's Tavern.

Pickets and skirmishers were sent along our entire front to find the position of the enemy.

Some went as far as a mile and a half before finding him.

But Lee showed no disposition to come out of his Works.
