enemy back to their works, they leaving numbers of their dead and wounded on the field. I dispatched a messenger to inform you of our position and say that the hill to our right, where I should have been, was not occupied. Night closed the conflict. Our loss was 4 killed and 32 wounded.

Officers and men did their duty so well, fought so nobly and bravely, that I can make particular mention of none.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JAS. S. MARTIN,

Colonel, Commanding 111th Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry.
