[appears the true page 2 is missing] to bring his body off the field. His partner however buried a foot or two under ground and for the good of our battery I can say he was the only man buried on the raid.

  George White was severely wounded and has since died.  Fred Wugert was also badly wounded but is still alive.  John C. Camberg and Howard Phillips were both slightly wounded. 
The battery also had 6 or 7 horses killed so that you will conclude raiding is a poor businefs.  Shortly after the return of our division from this raid, Sherman's commenced his great flank movement which was followed so soon by the capture of the Atlanta and of course we were off again. We went as far south as Jonesboro and Sherman after thrashing Hood completely twice and having occupied Atlanta and concluded to end the campaign and our army fell back leisurely to Atlanta and our division of cavalry brought up the rear.  A few rebel cavalry had the imprudence of following us back but they were very careful not to stir us up, as Hood evidently has a great deal of reverence our respect for Gen Sherman.  The Army of the Tennessee stops at East point.  The army of the Cumberland at Atlanta and The army of the Ohio at Decatur and the 2nd Division of Cavalry is at Cross Keys about 10 miles from Atlanta where there forage is plenty.  Summing up the loss of our battery in battle during this campaign 4 killed, 14 wounded and 5 captured.  Sending my love to all

I remain
