Mee Lt to T. F. Willson, May 25, 1863
HEADQUARTERS BEALL’S BRIGADE,
Near Breastworks on Jackson Road, May 25, 1863.
Capt. T. F. WILLSON, Assistant Adjutant-General:
Since daybreak there have been a great many shots fired in the woods on the left of the breastworks and in rear of the mill. I am convinced that the men are firing at long range and hastily, and are wasting much valuable ammunition. I make this report for the information of the major-general commanding.
Respectfully, &., W. N. R. BEALL
