GENERAL:
I was attacked this a. m. and totally defeated. I lost my guns and two-thirds
of my command; rebel force not known, as they were continually sending
their troops forward. I think the whole of the SecondTennessee is lost.
About one-half of the Seventh [Ohio] Cavalry is lost.
The rebel cavalry was following us this side of Bull's Gap.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
I. Garrard,
Colonel, Commanding
