In part: &#34;…<I>Our corps, Ewell&#39;s…marched to Gettysburg via Shippensburg….A.P. Hill had engaged the enemy during the day and driven them over three miles. We went into line of battle that night and remained in line untill 5 o&#39;clk next day when we marched out and charged the Yanks and drove them out of their first line of brestworks. They fell back to their second line on the heights distance 1/2 mile where they placed artillery in position under cover of the night….they recieved some 30,000 reinforcements. We attacked them the next morning…but could not take the position. Our battalion suffered more than any other regiment in the brigade as we had to charge up an open field and the remainder of the brigade were protected by the woods. Our loss was frightfull. We went in with over five hundred men and came out with less than two hundred….I thought sure my time had come….Old soldiers tell me that it was the greatest battle that has been fought since the war began….I must have seen over five thousand dead Yankees and some lying, dieing crying for water but we could not stop….We suffer considerable for something to eat…but I am willing to endure it rather than…live…under the Lincoln Government</I>….&#34; Private Webb would be severely wounded at the Battle of Peebles&#39; Farm &#40;30 Sept.-2 Oct. &#39;64&#41;.
