In General Merritt's official report[30] for the period May 26 to June
26, he makes the following statement:

"The losses in killed and wounded, (in the Reserve brigade,) are
annexed in tabular statement. As they number more than the loss of
the entire rest of the command they sufficiently attest the severe
services of the brigade."

When General Merritt says "the entire rest of the command" we shall
assume that he means "the entire rest" of the First division. We have no
desire to make invidious comparisons, and have avoided doing so
throughout these recollections. The Reserve brigade was a fine brigade
and always fought well, and never better than at Trevilian Station and
in the battles immediately preceding that engagement. To prove that his
comparison was not warranted it is necessary only to refer to the
official records. On page 810 of the same volume,[31] appended to the
report of General Torbert, for the same period covered by General
Merritt's report, we find:
