[80] obliged to quit the field, and the command devolved on Major-General Field.

To the members of my staff I am under great obligations for their valuable services. They conducted themselves with their usual distinguished gallantry.

J. Longstreet, Lieutenant-General. To Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. Taylor, A. A. G.
