General: The following is respectfully submitted as a report of the movements of my battery connected with the attack on Farmington on the 9th instant: On the eveningour right and front a small body of cavalry. The battery opened fire upon them, using shell, when they almost instantly retired. I cannot omit here mentioning that Captain [William] Hart, late of Hart's battery, desired and was permitted to act as gunner at one of the howitzers, where, if report be true, he served with considerable effect. I am, sir, yours, &c., D. Provence, Captain, Light Artillery, C. S. Army. General T. J. Churchill, Commanding Second Brigade, Army of the West.

I respectfully call the attention of the general to the praiseworthy conduct of Colonels Gratiot, Carroll and Dockery; also to Lieutenant-Colonels Neal and Provence, the former of whom was badly wounded, and the latter continually in the midst of the battle; also to Majors Ward and Featherston. Governor Churchill's account, published August, 1897, further indicates the part Arkansas took in the Battle a00 Federal troops, besides being enfiladed by a heavy battery. They stood their ground, delivering their fire with deadly effect and extreme rapidity. I must here mention in terms of highest approbation the conduct of my lieutenant-colonel, David Provence, for his coolness, skill and gallantry during the whole action, his example having a powerful influence in keeping the men steady and cool. Major Ward behaved with great gallantry; also, Captain Sparks and his company; Captain Hart and his c
