7-6-1862 p2.
\nmore. Out of our little battalion of about two hundred men, we lost between sixty and seventy killed and wounded. Out of ten officers, we lost one killed and two of them are missing, supposed to be either killed or badly wounded.
\n\tYou will see in the Tribune that the Regulars didn\u2019t fight well; but I think when you see the official report, you will change your opinions that are if you have formed them.
\n\tI shall not say anything more about it, but we were for six hours (old Mexicano companions say) under one of the most galling fires, I think, that could be ground into us.
\n\tWe retreated across the river to General McClellan\u2019s old headquarters. We lay there that night and next day until nearly night, when we were put on the march again. We marched all night through the \u201cWhite Oak Swamp.\u201d Next day we marched on until about 10 o\u2019clock when we were drawn up in line of battle, but as good luck would have it, we were not attacked.
\n\tWe bivouacked for the night in the swamps. Next day, which was the 20th of June, we marched to a place called Turkey Hill and before night had a small artillery fight where we took one battery, one that had just come from Richmond for the indications and they had plenty of fresh bread and meat in the caissons.
\n\tThe next day we had a hard fight. The Rebbles directed their whole fire in our center, but were driven back with great slaughter every time. I know we could have held our ground but I think McClellan has some deep move on hand that will take us all by surprise.
\n\tThe mail is going to leave in a little while so I must close.
\nPlease write soon
\nYour affectionate son, W. J.
