wounded in the early part of the engagement. Charles was hurt in the hand with
his ramrod while loading his gun thay
ware both sent to the hospital at Sharlottesvill our loss was estimated at six hundred
killed & wounded. The enimies at three
thousand. Our Brigade recieved a grate deal of praise for its bravry on
the battle field. It sertainly did act nobly your
Brother was not very well and was excused by the Sergeon & stayed back with the waggons, he did not have the good luck of being in the fight he has got
right well again & I hope his health may continue to be good for we all
miss him when he is sick or absent. We captured four or five hundred prisoners
& two pieces of canon. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
