Trains passing to the rear all night and today. Started teams for
forage. Rainy night and cloudy today. Several from the Regt. down, Col. P. — Regt.
under Maj. Nettleton had a fight with a brigade of rebs. Lost 15 or 20 horses,
and four men were wounded. Rebs fell back as soon as the "dark cloud"
made its appearance. Big reports came to the rear. Guess Button showed little
pluck.
