Loss. 3 officers and 28 men killed and mortally wounded.

0 prisoners.
Total killed and wounded 71, or 24 per cent. of number engaged.
[9] A regimental division is two companies; C and F in the present case.
[10] He named an officer and regiment of Hooker's Corps, both of which I
forgot before the day was ended.
[11] Sergt. Joe Merrill, Co. F; Private Storer S. Knight, Co. B; Private
James Sheridan, Co. C.
[12] Doctor Francis B. Davidson, of the 125th Penn., met the ambulance
near Line's house and turned it in there, and there the General was
treated and died, as everybody knows.
[13] An out-cropping spur of limestone ledge, common all over the field.
[14] These were, as we understand, the 128th Penn., a new, large regiment,
and the fragments of the 28th N. Y. and 46th Penn. I have not definitely
learned _exactly_ where the last two were while the 10th Maine was
fighting, but we saw very plainly the 128th Penn. upon the Croasdale
Knoll.
[15] Law's brigade and Wofford's or "The Texas" brigade.
[16] Garland's brigade was in the woods a short time, and a few men from
some Confederate command were in the extreme northern edge when Tyndale
approached it.
[17] Dear old "Jim" has long since "passed over to the other side," and I
cannot tell why he made such a strange report, nor why he didn't let me,
his Adjutant, know about it and have a copy to file away.
