light. Captain Munson, Seventy-eighth Ohio, this division inspector, was of important service in accompanying the mounted Twentieth Illinois in their continual reconnaissances and scouts. Colonel C. Fairchild, Sixteenth Wisconsin, commanding First Brigade, and Colonel G. F. Wiles, commanding Second Brigade, had their commands at all times thoroughly in hand and displayed marked ability and zeal. The Twentieth Illinois, under command of Captain Henry King, small remnant of a gallant regiment, serving as a mounted escort company, continually employed skirmishing at the front or scouting on the flank, performed valuable service wholly out of proportion to their numbers. The entire command, officers and men, entered with such zeal into every undertaking, and bore with such cheerfulness every hardship, that I almost seemed a spectator of a machine that worked itself.

I am, captain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

M. F. FORCE,

Brigadier-General, Commanding Division.

Captain C. CADLE, Jr.,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
