- LONGSTREET: But General, the enemy is firmly entrenched there, and
- backed by artillery.... it'd be suicide... General Lee, sir, let

- HILL: But my scouts tell me they have weakened the center to protect
- their flanks from our attacks these last two days.

- @S
- LEE: If the enemy is there in the morning, he must be attacked!

- @S
- LONGSTREET: Sir Shall I direct Pickett to attack their center?
-
- @?7
- @S
- LEE: No General, you are correct. We will swing around by our right and
- attempt to roll up his flank! If we can get Pickett's division
- astride the Tanneytown road we may well force them to fall back
- on Baltimore, leaving the road to Washington open.
