SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
"On the 27th of May our division made a reconnoissance in force to Hanover Court House, some twenty-four miles, and had a severe fight with the enemy there, returning to our camp the second day after.
" On the 26th of June our whole force on the east side of the Chickahominy was ordered out to meet the enemy said to be advancing on our right flank. The battle of Meehanics-ville was fought on this day, but Porter's division was not in it. The whole division was under arms and bivouacked near there on the night of the 26th.
