the wall, the revels took Luitennat Stevens horse and equipments and four team horses and two team horses were killed.

   Luit Stevens [illegible] escaped, Quartermaster Sergeant Durand and the teamsters all escaped.   The wagons also were all brought in, and heavily loaded at that.  John Carroll the wounded man was brought into camp in an ambulance and today is some better.  The captured ones have not been heard from.   You will [remember?] seeing Baker when in Camp Douglas.   There were 2 brothers, Homer and Theodore.  Theodore will be very lonesome.  Corporal Tinsely and [illegible] were former clerks in [Shyken?] Dry Goods store on Lake Str bet Wells and LaSalle.  Tinsley's brother is in the battery also.  He came down at the same time [Thomas?] did when we were in Louisville.   This may be rather a limp description but you must pardon me as it is the first sad thing that has happened.  Having 6 men captured and one being wounded.
