Letter
Alfred Pleasonton to George G. Meade, November 14, 1863
HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY CORPS,
November 14, 1863.
November 14, 1863. Respectfully forwarded. The attention of the major-general commanding this army is respectfully called to the within report, which is one of many received constantly of a similar nature. The facts therein shown are conclusive, in my mind, in proving that there is in the present system of supplying the cavalry of this army with horses and equipments something so radically wrong that the interests of the service imperatively demand an immediate and entire change and the application of some very stringent remedy.
A. PLEASONTON,
Major-General.
Editor's Notes
From: Operations in N. Virginia, W. Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Pt. 1. Summary: A. Pleasonton urges Major-General Meade to urgently reform the flawed system of supplying horses and equipment to the cavalry to improve service effectiveness.
