& expect to see another warm
engagement. 10. A.M. Have
crossed the creek & advanced
as far as
Sharpsburg but
no rebs do we see except
dead ones. But the boom
-ing of the distant cannon
tells us that they are crossing
the
Potomac, back into
Va.
11. A.M., 2 miles beyond
Sharps
-burg but are ordered back
to
Sharpsburg & are to take
the river road down the creek.
The Rebels admitted to the in
-habitants of
Sharpsburg a loss
of 30,000 since they come
into "My Maryland." Gen
Lee had his arm broken by
a gunshot This raid has
proved a mighty sorry thing
