Question. What do you mean when you state that General Milroy placed his forces too far from their supports during and previous to the attack?

Answer. I thought the regular battery was too fer out, with too small a force to support it. The result was that the guns were all captured and were not recovered. This was about sundown. Another battery (Captain Alexander's) shelled the enemy afterward, and made it warm for them.
