who, all deserving high praise themselves, have doubtless bestowed it where it is best deserved.

I inclose herewith a list of killed, wounded, and missing, amounting in the aggregate to 204.* Many of those reported as wounded were but slightly so. I also inclose a list of those most highly commended by commanders.

From the best information I have received I estimate the loss of the enemy to have been between 700 and 800.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

J. C. PEMBERTON,

Major-General, Commanding.

General S. COOPER,

Adjutant and Inspector General.
