After Hill received the letter relieving him from duty, Archer Anderson, a staff officer, visited Bragg’s headquarters with the relieved general. According to Anderson, Bragg said he knew officers were dissatisfied with him and had asked the president to be relieved, but Davis refused! So Bragg suggested to Davis that Hill needed to be removed because he so strongly lacked confidence in Bragg. Hill wanted specifics, rather than a vague condemnation, to repair his reputation (Archer Anderson, memorandum, near Chattanooga, TN, Oct. 16, 1863, Hill Papers, Division of Archives and History).
