About 5 p. m. the regiment returned to its former position, where it remained during the night. In conclusion, permit me to mention the general good conduct of both officers and men both upon the 2nd and 3d. To mention some might do gross injustice to others, but I cannot pass by the untiring efforts of Lieutenant Buckley to rally the men. Captain Lloyd and Lieutenant Corey also deserve special mention for their coolness and bravery. As an individual act of bravery, I desire to mention Corpl. Thomas Johnson, of Company I, whom, when two color-bearers had been shot down, I ordered to take the colors and advance 20 yards to the front, as the regiment was then wavering. He did so, and did not leave his position until ordered to the rear. The services or Lieutenant James Baldwin on the 3d, as acting adjutant, were invaluable. In the action of the 2d, the regiment sustained a very heavy loss. Out of 275 officers and men taken into the fight, 18 were killed, 130 wounded, and 6 missing, making a total of 154.

I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant.
