Letter of General Kearny to the commanding General:
HEADQUARTERS 3d DIVISION,
Camp Berry, Barkamsville, Va., May 10th, 1862.
Sib —The events which crowded on us after the battle of the 5th, its stormy night, the care of the wounded, the attention to the slain, the collection of the trophies, the_ moves of the next day, having prevented my report embracing the distinguished acts, of mdivid-uals not serving in my actual presence, induced me to request that the. superior authority of the commander of the corps would be employed to use as my own the separate report of those my brigade commanders, who so nobly sustained my effort by their gallantry, and who amply fulfilled the high prestige which they had won as colonels of noble
regiments.
