Annotation

[1]   ALS, RPB. General Couch replied from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at 7:40 P.M.:

``They have not up to this time made any show of attack in force. They are burning bridges on the Northern Central road.

``I may have lost 400 men in the vicinity of York and Gettysburg. Probably 15,000 men within a short distance of my front.'' (OR, I, XXVII, III, 385).
