He had been forced over to the Catharpin Road, crossing the Po at Corbin's and again at Wooden Bridge. These are the bridges Sheridan had given orders to his cavalry to occupy on the 8th, while one division should occupy Spottsylvania. These movements of the enemy gave me the idea that Lee was about to make the attempt to get to, or towards, Fredericksburg to cut off my supplies.
They soon drove the rebel cavalry back beyond Corbin's Bridge. Fighting between Hancock and Hill continued until night put a close to it. Neither side made any special progress. After the close of the battle of the 5th of May my orders were given for the following morning.
The menu card tells of the traditional coaching system of Corbin's great team of '88 and beneath the picture of Mr. and Mrs. "The head-coaches of the Yale team," says Corbin, "were really Mr. and Mrs. Walter Camp.

My father was a very sensible gentleman, and didn't ask others what he must or must not do. But his people in England would be more shocked than " She stopped and her lips twisted in a queer little smile. "Put me down here, Ephraim. I am going first to Mrs. Corbin's."

There was to be a political meeting at Kirby on that day, when certain distinguished Southern leaders had gathered from the remoter Southern States.
That night we went to Mr. Corbin's, near Union, who also had gallant sons in our command, where we remained concealed until the next night, and where friends supplied us with fresh horses and a pair of pistols each.
