Bushrod R. Johnson to George William Brent, July 25, 1864

COLONEL: General Gracie reports that the enemy’s sap-roller No. 2 advanced eight feet last night. He kept up a fire upon it, but says that “‘ the artiliery mortar batteries were so careful of their ammunition that they did not fire a shot during the night, until early this morning,” although they have orders to keep up an irregular fire all the time. No change has been observed in the force or position of the enemy along the other portions of the line. Colonel McAfee, commanding Ransom’s brigade, reports that the enemy seem to be throwing up a heavy work near Taylor’s house. Four thousand one hundred and eighty-eight minie-balls, fifteen pounds of lead, a few shells, solid shot, and a number of fragments were collected and turned over to the ordnance officer yesterday.

The following casualties are

respectfully submitted: Gracie's brigade,
