a copy of this original paper written by Charley June 4th:
“Major General Meade, commanding 5th Corps.
General: I have the honor of transmitting to you herewith a copy of a telegram just received from the President respecting sentences of Daily, Magraffe and Harrington.
(Signed) C. W. W., A. D. C.”
—and Charley had the pleasure of hurrying to Meade’s headquarters with the reprieve of these men from sentence to be shot. These are among the very few papers connected with Charley’s position at headquarters which are now in our possession, many others having been lost in the Morrell fire.
