Meade stopped abruptly, had crossed a line. Grant said nothing, knew it was still a sore point with Meade, Burnside's Ninth under Grant's direct control, not a part of Meade's command. It was still a problem, as was Baldy Smith's Eighteenth, the corps that technically was still under Butler's command. But the biggest problem that day had been Meade himself, the vague orders, each corps receiving a separate command. There had been no coordination because Meade had not told them to coordinate. Grant had learned now, with these men, these commanders, the orders must be plain and simple and direct. There could be no room for discretion. The fights today had gained little, but the casualties had not been as bad as this kind of jumbled attack could have produced. Lee was now firmly in command of the works around Petersburg, most of his army having completed the move from north of the James.
