within 150 yds of us and no one between our gun and them . Coming with their hideous yells. At this time Peckham, a married man on and the driver next me on our gun was shot through the leg while in his saddle, but not seriously wounded Had they killed one of our horses in this place, which the tried hard to do. They would have gabbled our gun sure. When we (our brigade) were returning the rebs opend a battery upon us but they were soon silenced by the other 4 of our Parrott guns which had been left back in reserve. Forwards night our section joined the other 4 guns and made things uncomfortable warm for the rebs that followed up our rear The loss of our brigade in the fight was 66 men killed and wouned besides a number of men and horses missing and although we were driven deserters from that command, coming in two days afterwards reported then about 200 killed and wounded and about 25 captured. For the last two days we have been laying back on Minn's plantation and can see and hear distinctly the heavy guns on Kennesaw and Sast mountains (the extreme right of army) Their division (as you are probably aware) has the extreme right of our army I suppose batteries A and B will go home in about 2 weeks. I have not seen them lately, but they are only about 2 miles from here. Nothing has been heard from the three men which I mentioned in my last as probably gobbled Lake.
