1861 September 26

[from the diary of Harrison B. Jones, 4th Sergeant of Co. H, 33rd Virginia Infantry]

there was a fight
to day between about
6 thousand of the enemy
and 2 thousand of ours. we
had one man killed & one
wounded. the enemy were
driven back with consid
erable loss it is supposed

Perhaps Jones is referring to the Federal reconnaisance to Lewinsville on September 25.
