We then moved across the field and then another piece of woods and to the edge of another field, where we found thair infantry picket line in the field near a house in rifle forts with breastworks behind them in a part which commanded the field.

Stay down until the line connects on the left. S[?] came the lead, in the dust on every side for a few moments, then the word came "Attention, Foward, Double quick March" and off we went again with the enemy pouring on thair lead and I ran as fast as ever they new how.
