and opportunity to cook, mad our meals of hard bread and water. The regiment always did its part of whatever duty the brigade was called upon the perform.

The endurance of both officers and men, and the alacrity with which they perform.

The endurance of both officers and men, and the alacrity with which they performed their arduous duties, entitle them to the highest praise.

I would like to make special mention of some of the officers of the regiment, but to do so, I fear, would render my report unnecessarily long. Suffice it to say no officers ever did their duty better.

Summary of casualties:* Commissioned officers-killed, 2; wounded, 14; missing, 2; since died of wounds, 3. Enlisted men-killed, 28; wounded, 244; missing, 77. Total enlisted men-killed, wounded, and missing, 349; enlisted men since died of wounds, 24. Aggregate in killed, wounded, and missing, 367.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
