My Darling Julia,
I miss you terribly. I haven't seen you in two years, but it feels like an eternity. How are the kids? I have just arrived back at camp from the Battle of Gettysburg. Lee wanted to have a victory in the North, so he marched to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in June. The battle was brutal and went on for a grueling three days. The first day of battle started because some of our men went into town to buy shoes, but of course the rebels went to the same shoe store at the same time. Thus, the battle began. By the end of the day we were pushed back into town but had the high ground. I was terrified, but I pushed on, and even though we couldn't push forward, we still gained an advantage. Our troops were placed in a giant fish hook shape, but one of our most important Maine regiments ran out of ammunition towards the end of the day, and they were forced to use bayonets. The kids would have loved the screams they made while they attacked, but they also would have been moved because this regiment did what it took to defend our land, even though it was very dangerous. The next day a rebel general tried to break a hole in the center of our lines, but we stopped and totally slaughtered them, so the rebels were forced to retreat across the Potomac River, and we eventually had the victory. There were so many casualties over the three days of battle that I am still unaware of the numbers. It must have been one of the worst battles I've seen in all my years of fighting. But the rebels are split in half, and we now control the Mississippi River. Many people also respect me more now, because of the way I fought in battle. I've even heard whispers that I might be promoted. Anyway, I miss dearly, and I hope that the war will end soon because of the advantage we gained.
Take care,
Ulysses Grant
