4th Cavalry
Lieutenant Colonel Kitchell having reported to me with a portion of his regiment (98th Illinois), I ordered him to the support of Colonel Sipes, and as soon as I gained the Dallas and Villa Rica road I sent a squadron to the right to communicate with him, and directed Colonel Sipes to leave the 98th to hold the Powder Springs road, and with his own regiment to drive the enemy and join me near the gin house. On the arrival of the 7th I placed them on the right of the 72d (dismounted and behind breastworks), and with a portion of the 4th Michigan moved towards Dallas and found my pickets skirmishing with the enemy within three miles of that place.
