HEADQUARTERS OF THE BRIGADE,
Camp near Falmouth, Va., May 5, 1862.
Respectfully forwarded.
The conduct of the officers and men of this regiment during the day was commendable for enterprise and daring. This report has been delayed in consequence of not receiving a report from Colonel Kilpatrick of the property, horses, and arms captured by him this day. I have called upon him for it frequently, but as he is not under my command I have no means of enforcing the requests.
C. C. AUGUR, Brigadier-General.
Reports of Brig. Gen. Oharles W. Field, 0. 8. Army, with instructions Srom General Lee.
