to Maj. Geo. Hooker

remains skeptical of Batchelder's remarks. believe Gen. Reynolds was at Gettysburg before 10 am and after as the maps shows. does not believe the 11th Corps reached the town as early as he said they did.

GLC09171.1

to Maj. Geo. Hooker

still finds Batchelder's story to be inaccurate. writes that the Potomac army has a very poor opimiom of Theodore Lyman. thinks Genie Howard uses the excuse of being wounded to lie.

GLC09171.2

to Maj. Geo. Hooker

writes about his own military career as a private. writes he was always glad when a battle was orderly and simply tried to fulfill his duties. thinks it an outrage that Batchelder is going to publish a history.
