General Meade, before the Committee on the Conduet of the War, March 5, 1863, said: "Inclnding all arms of the service ni y strength was a little under 100,000 men- about 95,000. I think General Lee had about 90,000 infantry, from 4,000 to 5,000 artillery and about 10,000 cavalry. I think the returns showed me, when 1 took command oí thearmy,amounted to abont 105,000 men;, included in these were the 11,000 of Gen. French, which I did not bring up, which would reduce it down to 94,000. Of that 94,000 I was compelled to leave a certain portion in the rear to giiard niy bagga.e trains." It is tstimated that Meade.'s forcé actually in battle was about 84,000 men.
