Notwithstanding the heavy fire directed on these forts, our loss was only 2 enlisted men killed and 3 wounded.

I have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

HDQRS. SIXTIETH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY,
Before Petersburg, Va., March 29, 1865.

SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by my command in the action of the 25th instant:

We were aroused by the rapid and continued firing at 4.15 a.m. My men were immediately formed in the trenches, where they remained during the action. The left of my command, consisting of Companies B and C, commanded by Captain Merkel, kept up a continual flank fire on the enemy as they advanced and retreated from their works. My company commanders are deserving of great praise for the promptness with which they got their men in line ready for action.

My loss consisted in 1 killed and 6 wounded.

Respectfully submitted.
