Excerpt from A Reply of William B. Franklin: To the Report of the Joint Committee of Congress on the Conduct of the War, Submitted to the Public on the 6th of April, 1863; With a Map

On the 6th day of April last a Report, purporting to be signed by the members of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War, was published in many of the leading papers in the United States.

The Thirty-seventh Congress expired, by constitutional limitation, on the 4th of March previous. Some of the testimony embodied in the Report has been taken since that time, and, consequently, this document has been spread before the country without having been submitted to either branch of Congress.

I do not refer to this irregular proceeding of a Committee which had ceased to have a legal existence as a defence against the charges of which they have convicted me, but as one of the facts fairly to be considered in connection with the Report itself, and the purposes it was intended to subserve.

The Committee have not devoted much space to me, either in citations of testimony or in statements of their own; but in that limited space they have presented me before the country as responsible for the loss of the battle of Fredericksburg, in consequence of my disobedience of the orders of General Burnside.
