Dear Carter

   My second offensive into the north has failed at Gettysburg.  My goal was a victory in the north to stoke the fires of the peace movements.  I moved seventy-five thousand troops to south central Pennsylvania.  The fighting started in the cornfield near the Dunker church, we were pushed back and at the end of the day the union held the high ground. Then we fought for the round tops with the goal of flanking the union forces this failed and we retreated back to our positions. The final day I went all in and sent my forces to charge the center, they were destroyed and we retreated back.  We will not invade the north for the rest of the war.  Wish me luck defending the south.

Your brother, 
Robert
