HDQRS. THIRD DIVISION, TWENTY-THIRD ARMY CORPS,

December 5, 1864.
SIR: In compliance with orders, I have the honor to report
the operations of Third Division in battle of Franklin, on the 30th ultimo, I
being temporarily in command thereof, General Cox commanding corps.
The division reached Franklin about 5.30 a.m. of the 30th
ultimo, and about 7 a.m. were placed in position on the extreme left of the
army, and between the Columbia pike and Harpeth River, connecting on right with
Second Division of corps, the left resting at or near ——— River, facing
southerly and southeasterly. The brigades of the division were in the following
order: First Brigade, the right; Second Brigade, Colonel Casement, in center;
Third Brigade, Colonel Stiles (in temporary command), on left. The division was
substantially formed in two lines. The first line of the division, as soon as
placed in position, threw up an ordinary line of rifle-pits, with head-logs,
and in some cases abatis was placed in front of works.
As to the conduct of officers and, privates of the division
during the many assaults made by the enemy on our line, commencing at or near
4.30 p.m., and continuing at intervals until after dark, I would most
respectfully refer to the reports of brigade commanders herewith forwarded.
A compiled list of casualties in the command is hereto appended.
The meagerness of this report will not require excuse to my superior officers,
who are familiar with the circumstances under which it is made.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your most
obedient servant,
J. W. REILLY,
Brigadier-General,
Commanding Third Division at Franklin.
Brig. Gen. J. D. Cox,
