Except from the above web link:
"...Yesterday we lost one killed and three wounded. Our band is now
playing, and the rebels seem to enjoy the music as well as ourselves. As near
as I could learn, Lt. Raymond, of Elba, was taken into their lines, as they
said they took in a sandy complexioned, stout built Lieutenant of the 8th
Artillery, which answers to his description. There is also some doubt in
reference to Lieut. Gladden of Le Roy -some think he is still alive and a
prisoner, while others think he is dead. No one could be recognized, and the
remains ere in such a state of decomposition that they could not be handled,
but were simply covered up where they were found.
Yours truly,
J.R. Cooper.
P.S. - I see the Richmond papers announce Lieut. Campbell, of Co. M, 8th
Artillery, a prisoner and wounded. He is from Niagara County. J.R.C."
