M., by Quartermaster Howe, who reported to me that I was to remain where I was, and would be reinforced, and that Lieutenant-Colonel Ward would proceed to Smart's Mill with the remainder of the regiment, that a communication should be kept up between us, and that ten cavalry would report to skirmish of the morning, and that Colonel Baker would shortly arrive with his brigade and take command.

Company E, Captain Fox, Company C, Captain Haines, Company R, Captain Rea, and Company H, Captain Whisson, took their positions with promptness, eager for the fray, under the command of Major Ward.
