My dear Colonel,

McLachlin does not appear to recollect much respecting you during the engagement as he states that his attention was given to his pieces, and that is very natural, I know that I observed but little of individuals except as duty brought me in contact with them. Though he says that you were with the leading piece when the battery went forward on the line of battle, and that his his opinion is that just before the piece went to the rear, you gave direction respecting the firing.

Should you have Brockenbrough Court Marshaled, I would advise you to have Grisby summoned as a witness.

Very Truly your friend
