Page 967 Chapter XXVIII. SIEGE OF MUNFORDVILLE,KY.

Our loss, 1 officers (Lieutenant Burton) and 6 privates wounded (one private mortally and Lieutenant Burton dangerously, a

musket-ball passing through both legs and shattering a bone of one). The enemy's loss was over 100, said to be 105.

The forces under my command during this affair were those mentioned by Colonel Wilder in his report and the re-enforcements thereto hereinbefore noticed.

I am, respectfully,

C. L. DUNAHM,

Colonel, Commanding U. S. Forces at Green River.

ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL AND CHIEF OF STAFF,

Army of Kentucky.

N. B.-It is probably but just to Major-General Gilbert and myself to add that since my arrival in this city he has informed me that within a few moments after issuing the order directing me to report to Colonel Wilder under arrest he sent me a dispatch, not only releasing me from arrest, but restoring me to the command; but, telegraphic communication being in the mean time cut off, it did not reach me.

Respectfully,

C. L. DUNHAM,

Colonel, Commanding,&c.
