A second disaster for the Union

Message carried by dispatch rider, received at War Department, Washington, DC on July 4, 1863:

Army of Northern Virginia victorious at Gettysburg. Lee's forces in pursuit of Army of the Potomac. Rearguard is fighting delaying action as main force retires to Harrisburg. Request immediate reinforcement.

Message carried by dispatch rider, received at War Department, Richmond, VA on July 8, 1863:

Sir, I am proud to report that the Union Army of the Potomac has been destroyed in action near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Am sending cavalry under General Stuart to Washington, with main force following.

- R.E. Lee, General, commanding Army of Northern Virginia
