I Do Not Want To Make This

General, If You Put Every Union Soldier Now On The Other Side Of The Potomac On That Field To Approach Me Over The Same Line, I Will Kill Them All Before They Reach My Line.

General, Unless He Offers Us Honorable Terms, Come Back And Let Us Fight It Out!

I Cannot Help But Think That Great Results Would Have Been Obtained Had My Views Been Thought Better Of; Yet I Am Much Inclined To Accept The Present Condition As For The Best.

The Passions Of The Titanic Struggle Will Finally Enter Upon The Sleep Of Oblivion, And Only Its Splendid Accomplishments For The Cause Of Human Freedom And A United Nation, Stronger And Richer In Patriotism Because Of The Great Strife, Will Be Remembered.

I Hope To Live Long Enough To See My Surviving Comrades March Side By Side With The Union Veterans Along Pennsylvania Avenue, And Then I Will Die Happy.
