Another great war-date Union general's battle letter, 1pp. 8vo., written by Bvt. Brig. Gen. Edgar M. Gregory, as commander of the 2nd Brig., 1st Div., 5th Corps., "In the field, Hd. Qrs. in the saddle, [near Petersburg, Va.], Mar/ 3, 1865 [April 3, 1865]," concerning the collapse of Lee's army following the battle of Five Forks, Va., in part: "…I wrote the evening of the first…our Battle on the 1st was a good hard one. Our losses not heavy. Yesterday had but little loss, trifling. We have taken many prisoners probably up to this time 8 or 9000. The enemy are flying before us. Everything favorable. It seems to me the God of Heaven is with us…your father, E. M. Gregory." VG
