Letter to Father, 1864 August 24

Tells of making another Flank Movement, as they hold the P.andW. R. R. against all forces that have been brought against them. Hard fighting for three days in which the Rebels were worsened. Tells of a ball going through his hat, so close to his head that it rubbed his hair, in Sunday's fight a ball struck him on the fore part of the right arm, but did not enter the flesh, but caused great pain.
