HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc, May
Ia 1864 Soldiers: The moment has arrived
wien your Commanding General feels authorized
to address you in terms of congratulation.
For eight days and nights, almost without In
tcrmission, in rain and sunshine you have been gal
lantly fighting desperate foe, in positions natur
ally strong, and rendered doubly so by intrench-
meuts.
You have compelled him to abandon his fortif-
cations on the Rapidan, to retire and attempt to
stop your onward progress, and now he has aban-
doned the last intrenched position 50 tenaciously
held, suffering loss in all, of eighteen guns, TWEEN
ty-two colors, and eight thousand prisoners, In
cluding two general officers.
Your heroic deeds and noble endurance of fatigue
and privations viii ever be memorable Let us
return thanks te God for the mercy thus shown
us, and ask earnestly for its continuation.
Soldiers! your work is not yet over. The enc
my must be pursued, and, if possible, overcome.
The courage and fortitude you have displayed rem
ders your Commanding General confident your fl-
ture efforts viii result in success.
While We mourn the loss of many gallant COM
rades, let us remember the enemy must have suf-
fered equal if not greater losses
We shall soon receive reinforcements, which he
cannot expect. Let as determine to continue vig-
orously the work so well begun, and under God s
blessing in short time the object of our labor will
be accomplished GEORGE G. MEADE,
