Enlisted men, killed,37 Enlisted men, wounded,104   Total killed,38 Total wounded,111   Total killed and wounded,149 Besides seventy-five missing, of whom a number probably was killed and wounded. Considering the great jeopardy in which we were, I look upon it as a great mercy we all were not shot down. Kind remembrances and love to all. Affectionately, your brother, J. H. Simpson.
