"You made it too hot. Your shots drove away the cannoneers, and they haven't stopped running yet. We infantry men had to come out and withdraw the guns."
"You infantrymen will run, too, one of these fine mornings."
"When are you coming over?"
"When we get ready to come."
"What do you want?"
"Want Fredericksburg."
"Don't you wish you may get it?"
Here an officer came up and ordered our men away.
The army halted for some weeks in front of Fredericksburg.
