Relative numbers and losses at slaughter's mountain ( Cedar Run ) By Colonel Wm. Allan, late Chief of Ordnance, Second Corps, A. N. V.
McDonough school, Md., March 2, 1880. Rev. Dr. J. Wm. Jones, Secretary Southern Historical Society:
My Dear Sir--General G. H. Gordon, of Massachusetts, has published several valuable papers on the war. His last book (noticed in your last number) is, however, by far the most elaborate and useful.
Indeed, it is the most extensive and carefully prepare reports the total loss among all the troops engaged as--
Killed450
Wounded660
Missing290
In this report the 660 is evidently a misprint, and was probably intended to be 1,660.
If so, the loss by this report would be 2,400.
As Jackson captured 400 prisoners, the above estimate seems under, not over, the mark.
Taking all these estimates together, it is evident that Pope's loss was over 2,000.
This letter is too long to add anything in reference to the second Manassas. W. Allan.

McDonough school, Md., March 27, 1880. Rev. Dr. Jones:
My Dear Sir — In my letter of March 2d, in regard to Federal and Confederate strength and losses at Cedar Run, as published, there is a typographical error on page 183, line twenty from the top. The figures 1,161 at the beginning of that line should be 1,661.
Confederate strength.
Deducting Jackson's loss of 1,314 at C t enough.
No one will ever know precisely how many of his march-worn 54,000 troops General Lee was able to hurl against what was left of Pope's 75,000 in the last great struggle of the 30th of August.
By one of the boldest and most skillful military movements of our times, he broke into fragments this army of Pope, so much larger than his own, while an army equal in number to the Confederates lay near Alexandria and Washington, within one day's forced march of the battlefield. William Allan
