Here and there was one company of Rebs, but we came on them so sudden that they had not time to escape. They all scattered...there was about 30 of them. We went into them charging and yelling like a set of independent devils...we were determined...we killed some 8 or 10 and captured 30 with their horses and all their arms...We rode 66 miles, whipped the Rebels, and captured a large amount of amrs and clothing...our Colonel gave us great praise for the gallant charge we made and making the Rebs run so fast...” Fine condition.
