I am disgusted and worn out with the system that seems to prevail.
From John Buford
There was splendid fighting on the part of the division on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th. There was no faltering or hesitation. Each man went to work determined to carry anything in reason.
If I have any choice I would prefer Western Troops.
If the regulars are to be put together, I believe they would prefer me to the other Cavalry Commanders.
I am willing to serve my country, but do not wish to sacrifice the brave men under my command.
It is too late; now I wish I could live.
Found everybody in a terrible state of excitement on account of the enemy's advance upon this place.
I have not been able to get any grain yet. It is all in the country, and the people talk instead of working.
General: I attempted to take Williamsport yesterday, but found too large a force of infantry and artillery. After a long fight, I withdrew to this place.
I can do nothing with the enemy save observe him.
