& take a postion on the
hill & remain there all
night. 9.P.M. Our folks
hold the ground taken &
our left section have bivoua
-cked near where we opened
our first fire this morning.
The slaughter has been dread
-full to-day on both sides
Many of our Regt's are sadly
cut to pieces the loss has
been very heavy on both sides
in officers. The 35th a
has again suffered as much
any as any Reg't on our side
The Rebel loss must
have been much the largest
as they sufered severely
in the forenoon in the corn
-field.
