Lieutenant James Chris-laancy, one of my personal aids, while gallantly cheering on the men in the thickest of the fight, and at the moment when the tide of battle was being turned in our favor,
received two wounds, one of which carried away the end of his thumb, the other inflicting a very dangerous and painful wound through the thigh; at the same time his horse was Shot under him. Lieutenant Nims, of my staff, also had his horse shot under him we held our position here until after dark, when we were relieved by the infantry, we marched back and encamped on the Pamunky,,about one mile from the Tolopotomy creek.
