Moved on the R. R.
destroying as we went till noon, when we got dinner. 12 miles from Burkesville
a rebel force under W. H. Lee as reported of about 2000 cavalry got between
Kautz and Wilson. Fight commenced immediately and lasted till dark — our
brigade in rear. Drove the rebs at dark in a charge — our regt. on picket and
in support of a battery. Got a good night's rest. Pickets firing all the time.
