GDG- RE: Gettysburg Digest, Vol 33, Issue 12(Doubleday)

[Tom Barthel]

Fred,
  Thanks again.
  But I am new to the idea of the Gettysburg Digest, Vol 33, Issue 12(Doubleday).
  Please help again.

Tom,

The specific citation is the session of 3/1/64, given in full 
in Hyde _The Union Generals Speak_. More interesting than 
D's relationship with Butterfield is his relationship with 
Wadsworth (and Seward?), who had the power to get Gibbon his 
star in '62. Could he have saved Doubleday in '63?
