WM. H. ROMEYN—Dear Sir: Herewith I send you a statement of loss in 120th Regiment, N. Y. S. V., in the engagement of Saturday and Sunday last. The men acquitted themselves bravely, and were the last of the Brigade to leave the field, having done all in their power to avert the disaster. The number reported missing will probably be reduced. The Adjutant with characteristic modesty omits his name from the list, although some of those reported were wounded as slightly as himself. Truly Yours,
GEO. H. SHARP,
Col. 120th Regt., N. Y. S. V.

Wounded—G. Van Aken, E. Abrams, C. O. Grannis. Missing—J. Hardick, John Blodgett.
