I send you a Morning Report of this day which will give you some idea of the Brigade--22nd Maine was raised by Col Senator Wilson and went to Halls Hill a year ago last fall with 1200 men - 25th N.Y. was recruited principally at 5 points by the notorious Col. Kerrigan 1st Michigan joined our Brigade last June with nearly 900 men--118th Penn. at Arlington Heights in Sept last with 1000 men. This regiment of 118 men had about 140 killed when we were driven across the Potomac at Shepardstown, so ingloriously, just after the battle of Antietam.
