Headquarters, 7th Regiment, Virginia Infantry.

Camp near Winchester,

October 14th, 1862.

Col.: I have the honor to report that this Regiment was under a severe fire of artillery on the afternoon of the 29th of August, but met with no casualties.

On the afternoon of the 30th the Regiment was again in action, commanded by Colonel Patton. Near the battery taken by the 7th and 24th Va. Col. Patton, Lieut. -Col. Florence, Major Swindler, Adjut. Patton and Capts. Bolen, Harris and Fry, with Lieuts. Miller, Estes, Dean, Mullins and Rosser were wounded. After passing the battery the right wing moved forward and the left wing formed in line of battle facing to the left, and advanced in pursuit of the enemy until relieved. It is impossible for me to give the number of men engaged in the action. Officers and men all behaved with the greatest gallantry.

Respectfully, Your ob't Servant,

Ph. S. Ashby,
Capt. Com'd'g Reg't.

Col. M. D. Corse,
Com. 1st Brig.
