let. Headq's army Northern Va,May 5, 1864. Hon Secretary of War. The enemy crossed the Rapidan at Ely's and Germanna fords. Two corps of this army moved to oppose him — Ewell by the old turnpike, and Hill by the plankroad. They arrived this morning in close proximity to the enemy's line of march. A strong attack was made upon Ewell, who repulsed it, capturing many prisoners and four pieces of artillery. The enemy subsequently concentrated upon Gen. Hill, who, with Heth's and Wilcox's divisions, successfully resisted repeated and desperate assaults. A large force of cavalry and artillery on our right was driven back by Rosser's brigade. By the blessing of God we maintained our position against every effort until night, when the contest closed. We have to mourn the loss of many brave officers and men. The gallant Brig. Gen. J. M Jones was killed, and Brig. Gen. Stafford, Hear, mortally wounded, while leading his command with conspicuous valor.
