Respectfully forwarded. In my report of the operations at Gettysburg, it is stated that "Shaler's brigade was also ordered first to the left and then to the right, and subsequently returned to the left center and held in reserve; " and it appears also that Wheaton's brigade remained in the position in which it was placed on the evening of July 2, i. e., on the left center. The mistake in regard to the position of the two brigades may have originated in the report of the commanding officer of the Twelfth Corps.

At 9. 20 a. m. the Twenty-third Pennsylvania Volunteers, Lieutenant Colonel John F. Glenn commanding, was placed in position as support to, and 150 yards in rear of, the front line. After about three hours, five companies were, by direction of General Geary, reported to the lieutenant-colonel commanding a regiment of the Second Division, Twelfth Corps. These companies, being deployed in rear of the works, were, under a galling fire of musketry, advanced into them. Owing to
