Excerpt: ...approbation, for their indefatigable exertions and humane attention to the wounded of our army, as well as to the prisoners who fell into their hands. I have the honour to be, etc., E. P.

Our position is growing stronger every day by the exertions of Majors M'Ree and Wood, and the officers and men generally. We keep up a smart cannonade. One (p. 232) of the enemy's pickets yesterday approached nearer to ours than usual. Major Brooke, officer of the day, added 100 men to our picket, attacked and drove them in with considerable loss; the major brought in about 30...
