5:00 a.m., July 3rd, 1863.
<FONT=MsgFont,L,20,20,20>General Meade,
        Urgent!  The enemy is upon us, middle of the line, between the positions of Kelly's and Cross's brigades.  It appears the 61st New York was captured along the picket line, this was their watch sector.  Visibility is still poor as the trees are dense in the Rebel location, but it is obvious a large force of at least a division has assembled just beyond musket range.  Sunrise should reveal more, but regardless, we need the reserves now sir.

12:00 p.m., July 3rd, 1863.
<FONT=MsgFont,L,20,20,20>General Hancock,
       Congratulations General, it appears Longstreet has had enough for now.  Before the enemy has time to regroup their forces, attack at once with vigor.  A determined counter attack will sweep them from the field.  I am confident in your abilities and you are surely aware...No Guts, No Glory, NO UNION. It's up to you Sir, take back our ground.
