Skirmishing all the way to Ashland under McIntosh. 5th N. Y. in
advance. Soon after reaching Ashland rear was attacked. Then commenced a fight
lasting till near sundown, when we left up the R. R. track by order of Gen.
Wilson, who was on the telegraph road with the remainder of Div. Reached
Hanover C. H. about 11 P. M., the object of the movement being accomplished,
viz.: bridges over the North Anna were destroyed. Again the 2nd O. V. V. C. did
splendidly — probably saving the Brigade.
