Sept. 26th 1861

Meadow Bluff

The enemy in strong force occupy
our old camping ground a few days'
since on Big Sewell. Just at night
Col. Wharton dispatched a messenger reporting
that his Pickets had been firred upon &
driven in. Gen. Floyd immediately sent
Maj. Glass & myself to his camp one mile
distant, to get accurate information. Nothing
definite cld. be ascertained. It is probably
that a few of the enemy or union men
were inspecting the position of our camp.
