June 10

During a reconnoisance in some force this afternoon, under General Smith, a part of the troops — the Forty seventh Georgia Volunteers, Colonel Williams commanding — were repulsed in the woods, at Grimball's, after a gallant onset upon the enemy, advantageously posted, supported by artillery and aided by his gunboats in the Stono. Our loss serious; Captain Williams killed. The wood through which the Forty-seventh advanced so dense that order, it was said, could not be preserved, nor could commands be properly extended. Great regret for the loss of the brave Georgians. Heavy firing nearly all night from gunboats in the Stono.
