Henry has been in one fight and it was a victory though 42 men were killed and 161 wounded in his regiment. He expects another fight this afternoon. The Confederates left without burying their dead and the men can barely walk around camp "at night without stepping on two or three dead or wounded rebels." They took 5,000 prisoners on march today.
