SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report:

At 11.30 p. m. [28th ultimo], when on duty as field officer of the day, was relieved by Major Mathews, and ordered to take command of a battalion of the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, consisting of Companies A, I, H, and B. One squadron was placed as picket on the McMinnville road, and one on the Hillsborough road, where they remained on duty until noon of the 29th, when I received orders from General Turchin to move as rapidly as possible with the battalion and report to General Brannon, on the road to Tullahoma. Reported to General Brannon, and was ordered by him to report for duty to Colonel Van Derveer, whose brigade was in the advance, skirmishing with the enemy. Remained with the advance until dark, and was then ordered to fall back and go into camp. Remained in camp until the morning of the 1st of July, when Major Rodgers assumed command. We accompanied General Brannon's division to Tullahoma, and to Elk River on the 2nd instant. Remained in camp on the 3rd. Lieutenant Colonel O. P. Robie assumed command and remained with my battalion until the evening of the 4th, when we were ordered to report to the brigade at Decherd.
