"JOINT RESOLUTION of thanks to Maj. Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, and the officers and men under his command. Resolved by the Congress of the Confederate States of America, That the thanks of Congress are due, and are hereby cordially tendered, to Maj. Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, and to the officers and men under his command, for their distinguished gallantry and skill during the present war, especially as displayed in the summer of 1862, in the raid around the army of McClellan, across the Chickahommy, the expedition into Pennsylvania and to Catletts Station, and in the battles of Fleetwood, Chancellorsville, and other places. That the President be requested to communicate this resolution to General Stuart and the officers and men under his command. Approved February 17, 1864."

If Stuart was blamed at the time for Lee's defeat at Gettysburg, it is not mentioned here either.
