HDQRS. THIRTY-SEVENTH MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEERS,
In the Field, April 15, 1865.

SIR: In compliance with circular from headquarters Third Brigade, of April 14, 1865, I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by my command in the operations of the late campaign:

In the assault on the enemy's works at Petersburg on the morning of April 2 this regiment was in the front line of the brigade, on the right of the Fifth Wisconsin. In advance of the line of battle were deployed as skirmishers seventy-five picked men and volunteers from this regiment, who covered the entire brigade front and were commanded by Captain J. C. Robinson, assisted by Second Lieutenant H. A. Cushman. At the word of command the regiment advanced rapidly, with a cheer, forced their way through two lines of abatis, over the ditch into the enemy's fort, where (after a brief but sharp conflict, the enemy's gunners standing to their pieces and firing them tow or three times after some of us were in the fort) we captured 3 guns, about 40 prisoners, and a battle-flag.
