1:28:00
And I hope that God has sent me
to radiate your pathway through life.
1:28:06
I am a very tiny little thing.
1:28:09
I weigh only eight and a half pounds...
1:28:11
...and Aunt Harriet says I am
the express image of my darling papa.
1:28:17
My mother is very comfortable
this morning.
1:28:21
Your loving daughter.
1:28:31
Thank you, Lord.
1:28:34
Thank you.
1:28:37
Thank you, thank you.
1:28:39
They've occupied all the buildings
along the riverfront.
1:28:43
We will be lining up those pontoon
bridges through a hail of lead.
1:28:47
Once across, the Rebs are sure
to make us pay for every block.
1:28:51
Beyond the town is the canal
which cuts across this open field...
1:28:55
...a field we'll have to cross to reach
their entrenchments on Marye's Heights...
1:28:59
...another difficult obstacle
in the face of artillery fire.
1:29:03
Down to our left we could burst through...
1:29:06
...turn Jackson's lines, push him back,
trap Longstreet on top of the hill...
1:29:12
...surround him.
1:29:16
Is possible.
1:29:18
Turn Jackson's lines?
1:29:22
No, general, we'll meet them head on.
1:29:25
And it will be a bloody mess.
1:29:28
We'll march up to that hill there...
1:29:30
...and we'll eat their artillery fire
all the way across this field.
1:29:42
We'll be able to look
at ourselves and say:
1:29:45
"We're good soldiers.
We did what we were told."
1:29:48
If we're not successful, we can say it was
a good plan, but there were contingencies.
1:29:53
You can go back to your hometown...
1:29:55
...and tell the families of your men
they died doing their duty.
