10th Regiment Cavalry
An hour before I had been told to expect this, by Major Newell, who had heard the rumbling of their artillery during the night. I had therefore sent word to Captain Wood, at the fort, to look out for them and return compliments without delay. He replied to their morning salutation without any hesitation, warning them to be careful how they exposed themselves. Then followed an interesting and somewhat exciting artillery duel for some time. In the midst of it my scouting party returned and reported the enemy on our side of the river in strong force, and not far away.
