So the Thirty-second Regiment went to Chaffin's farm and were attached to Hunten's Brigade, and remained with them until the last of May or first of June, 1864, when at Hanover Junction, when we rejoined our brigade and the Thirty-second went back to Corse's Brigade. In the meantime the Eighteenth Virginia Regiment was with Corse's Brigade and left Petersburg with them about tnd horses.
