COLONEL: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your report of the engagement of May 29 between the troops of your command and a comparatively large force of the enemy at or near Pocotaligo. The major-general commanding directs me to thank that portion of the troops engaged for their gallant, noble, and daring conduct on that occasion in meeting and holding in check a much larger force for several hours, fighting the enemy at every available point with the usual gallantry, thus saving the railroad from capture.

I am, colonel, very respectfully,
