/ have not been able to be at the
hospital Of the 18th, but learn that
the 18th lost three companies and the
22nd two.
The fight began to moderate about
s a. m., and by 10 o'clock. all was
quiet so far as l could see, except the
ambulances l was told by partici-
pants that the negroes lay slain waist
deep. Various reports as to our loss
or prisoners captured by us-no ne
groes captured, only those 'possumed
out. Many are terribly mutilated
begging our men to kill them out.
EXcitedly yours, ]. M. Hope.
