Got to our line at 6
this morning. The Yankees had fallen back. They had nineteen regiments and
twenty-one pieces of artillery. They left in a hurry. One of their colonels was
killed and I don't know how many men.
We left Blount Creek
Bridge at 4 this evening, marched nine miles on our way back to Bellevue. We
met the Bethel regiment, and I met several friends of my old company.
