Letter
Andrew A. Humphreys to Brevet Major-General WEBB, March 25, 1865
HEADQUARTERS SECOND ARMY CORPS,
March 25, 1865.
March 25, 1865. (Received 10,10 p. m.) Brevet Major-General WEBB, Chief of Staff: : [ estimate my losses to-day in killed and wounded as between 400 and 500; there will be few missing. All reports seem to indicate a much heavier (I think double that) loss in killed and wounded by the enemy. A report of the prisoners taken will be forwarded as soon as Major-General WEBB: We hold the intrenched picket-line of the enemy from the right of Miles’ division to the vicinity of the Armstrong house. From that point to Hatcher’s Run we hold a front intermediate between our former picket-line and the enemy’s.
A. A. HUMPHREYS,
Major-General.
