We had 5 men taken by the Rebels they got in the rear of the Regiment and was taken. A guerilla band there was twelve in number hid in ambush. Three of the men was of our company...This is a splendid looking country and more niggars than you can shake a stick at and their hair is twisted so tight to their heads that they can't shut their mouths. War news is nothing special at present only that the Rebels are taking flight in all directions..." Fine condition.
