On the morning of the 10th, having received orders, I joined the brigade, which had moved some distance from its position.

I sent forward two companies (A and B) of my regiment as skirmishers, and after dislodging the battery and advancing one mile, the skirmishers came in contact with the enemy's cavalry, 3
