The enemy's loss in killed and wounded was very heavy, and we took 1,300 prisoners, making, with some taken by Rosser, and others taken on the day of reconnoissance, over 1,500.
My loss in killed and wounded was not more than 700 or 800 men, and I think very few prisoners were lost.
A number of my men are still out, but they are coming in. Except for the loss of my artillery, the enemy has far the worst of it. We secured some of the captured artillery, and our net loss is twenty-three pieces.
I still have twenty pieces, besides the horse artillery.
The enemy is not pursuing, and I will remain here and organize my troops.
Respectfully,
