Erano entrambi driovenentemente nel bosco e spazzolare, dove la cavalleria e alcune delle fanttrie sull'altro lato della strada, versavano una volley in noi. L'intera vicenda dura cinque minuti, ma in quel tempo forse tra venti e trenta morti o feriti. Il chirurgo Haven è attento ad aggiungere che nessuno del quindicesimo ferito^gli uccisi o feriti; e dubitiamo molto se qualcuno ha segato ucciso o ferito.

Forward we go, up through Maryland; on the 10thnear Clarksburg; on the nth to Hyattstown. Here a small body ofrebel cavalry was dispersed by Kirbys Battery. On the 12th we wereat Urbana, and on the 13th at Fr
