— I have the honor to report that on Wednesday, the 25th of June, I left camp with my regiment, numbering four hundred and eighty, and with the balance of your brigade proceeded up the Telegraph road, crossed the Chickahominy on the morning of the 26th, and advanced towards the Meadow bridge. Two of my companies were ordered to Mrs. Crenshaw's bridge to apprise Lieutenant-Colonel Hoke, with a portion of his regiment which was doing picket duty on the south side of the Chickahominy, that the way hief allowed him to take no rest until he found shelter under the guns of his shipping.

S.--Our entire loss in all the battles before Richmond was subsequently ascertained to be one hundred and seventy-seven (177). It is due to Company H that I should state that I never had cause to complain of it after the Cold Harbor fight.
