Hill's Corps, the greater part of which had, therefore, to be entrusted to the artillery, unsupported. The Confederate lines broken. Fall of A. P.ck at that point. Later he broke through the line near the Plank Road, and after a severe engagement, lasting throughout the day, in which every available man of Gordon's and A. P. Hill's command were used to re-establish the line, Parke, reinforced by the seserves from City Point and troops from Wright and Ord, succeeded in hold and reported to General L. L. Lomax, in command there, and Walker buried his guns near an old church and disbanded his command.

My recollection is General Early gave mto be some halt or cessation, momentary in General Gordon's fire, which I did not understand.
