trenched. This day my loss was 1 commissioned officer and 5 men wounded. September 3, remained in camp. Not engaged with the enemy except skirmishing; lost 1 man, wounded. September 4, remained quiet; 1 man wounded, while in the main works, by the enemy's sharpshooters. September 5, your ordered me to withdraw my regiment at 8 p. m. and marched to East Point, Ga.; at the hour we moved, and bivouacked at midnight in our old works at Jonesborough without loss.

I forward with this a complete list of the casualties in my regiment since the opening of the campaign. I will here add that on the 16th day of July Major R. M. Johnson was detailed, by order of Brigadier-General Harrow, for duty at headquarters Fourth Division. I am informed that in the battle of the 22nd July, before Atlanta, he was captured by the enemy while discharging his duty. This loss to my regiment is irreparable. He was a gallant officer.

The effective strength of my regiment now is about 350. During the many marches, the almost incessant fighting, my men have been cheerful and contented; no murmuring was heard, although a great portion of the time the weather was rainy. All seemed governed by one impulse. While we had a few recruits, they were not found wanting; they worked well. Success was what they asked. All were determined that no act of theirs should prejudice the result. No men were more willing to labor for success-none more gallant.

The commissioned officers of my regiment aided very materially in keeping up the discipline and efficiency of the command, and in justice to valuable officers I make special mention of Captain Orla J. Fast, Company B, who, when a delicate movement was to be made, had charge of the skirmishers of my regiment. I earnestly recommend that he be promoted for gallantry in the field.

I also make special mention of Lieutenant Edwin Goldsmith, my adjutant, cool and self-possession in time of danger, no one possesses the confidence of the men more than he does. I also recommend him for promotion.

All the commissioned officers of my regiment have discharged their duties intelligently and with great gallantry.

Recapitulation of casualties: Commissioned officers wounded, 2; missing, 1; enlisted men killed and mortally wounded, 17; wounded 58; total killed, wounded, and missing, 78.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

ALBERT HEATH,
