4th Cavalry
Following are extracts from a letter of Colonel Minty, under date of Kene-saw, Ga., June 28th, 1864, to the Adjutant General of Michigan: " The fight in which Lieutenant Sutton was killed, 'Lattimer's Mills,' June 20th, turns out to have been a splendid affair. I knew that the enemy had suffered severely, but the truth far surpasses my most sanguine hopes. "The day before yesterday two negroes came in from General Martin's division, and told us that the rebel loss was about 500; this I did not believe, but yesterday some of the men of the 7th Pennsylvania and 4th Regular's got hold of a couple of Alanta Papers in which they acknowledged their loss to be over ninetv killed and three hundred and sixty wounded.
