Right... but even though I did get the day wrong Ewell's report says that before he reached Middletown, Hill sent him a note saying he was advancing on Gettysburg. Ewell says he sent word to Lee that he was proceeding to Gettysburg. Lee wrote back and told him not to bring on a general engagement.

Ewell writes, by time the note reached me, Hill was engaged.
