I took position on the right of this corps, and made strong works during the night. The following morning I was relieved and returned to my former position. August 3, the Fourteenth Corps, with the exception of my brigade, moved to the right. On the afternoon of the 4th, by direction of Major-General Thomas, my brigade joined the division, and was placed on the extreme right of the army. I had scarcely got into position when I was ordered to go back, with all possible dispatch, and report to Brigadier-General Williams, commanding Twentieth Corps. This I did, and was placed in position between the Twentieth and Sixteenth Corps. Remained here, advancing my lines twice, until the night of August 25, when I joined the division.

with the enemy d-aring the day. The enemy made several charges on our main line during the early part of the night and were handsomely repulsed, evacuating their position during the night.

As I had been ordered to form on his left, soon after, by order from Major-General Thomas, Colonel Dilworth was directed to send forward a regiment from his command, deployed as skirmishers, and clear the front on General Carlin's left.

Here the brigade was detached from the division and ordered to proceed over a rough and narrow road through woods and uncultivated country in a south-southeast and southeast direction, to protect the supply train and Major-General Thomas' headquarters train.

George W. Cook. I wish to bear testimony to the general good conduct and bravery of the several officers above named and their respective commands. I observed several striking instances of noble courage and true bravery among subordinate officers and enlisted men, but s
