army was Amelia Court House. There
was no food, their clothing was in
rags, many had not even a weapon,
but they kept on, plodding during
the night, listening to the guns of the
foe coming on behind, never waver-

AS long as Lee was leading them
they were satisfied to follow.
Early on the morning of April 3
Cen Grant started in active pursuit
of his retreating foe. 1t was April
before Lees struggling army was
finally camped at Amelia Court House,
and then, half -famished, it was to
find that there were, no food supplies
available within fifty miles of their
camp. On their thinning lines were
rapidly approaching the Federal

On April 8, Grant wrote Lee the
