<html>we were whipped. One of my
pieces which I commanded
in person was disabled after
firing only 10 rounds by braking
a priming wire. It was the key
to the position and had the enemy
had the pluck to hold it - we would
have been lost. Three of my men
were wounded - Lieut. Hudnall -
Shook & [Wenth?] - Shook seriously -
I was providentally saved, for I
was very much exposed - the
shell burst all around us -
The enemy are coming on us
again and I must close -
Send this to Mother. Good Bye
dearest -
Ever yours,
J. Thompson Brown
I will write tomorrow -
