Fourth Cavalry III
by which the 4th Michigan and 1st Wisconsin collided, which cost us two men killed and Lieutenant Boutelle wounded through the arm, in the 4th Michigan, and three men wounded in the 1st Wisconsin. This occurred just at daylight, after we had captured the camp, by the advance of the 1st Wisconsin not properly answering our challenge, by which they were mistaken for the enemy. I returned to this point last night, and shall move right on to Macon without awaiting orders from you as directed, feeling that the whole objects of the expedition are accomplished. It will take at least three days to reach Macon, as we are 75 miles out and our stock is much wearied. I hope to reach Hawkinsville to-night.
