Saw Darnell, of my
company, to-day. He was just from the front. He brings us very bad news. Our
General Daniels was killed, which is certainly a great loss to us, for he was a
good and brave man, also our major of the 53d, Iredell, and my captain, White,
all killed. Colonel Owens, my colonel, was mortally wounded, and quite a number
of my company were killed and wounded. He says there is only seven of our
company left, and that our Lieutenant-Colonel Morehead is commanding Daniels'
Brigade.
