- Letter from J.W.R., Assistant Surgeon, Second Kansas Cavalry, to C.B. Lines, father of Captain Edward E.D. Lines, Second Kansas Cavalry. "..Our command, under Col. Cloud, marched about 17 miles, and were ambushed by the rebels, Company "C" being in our advance. The enemy formed in a dense growth of small timber and brush, and when our scouts came up, they let them pass through without firing a gun, but when Company C came up, they opened upon them a very heavy volley of infantry in two columns. Your son was killed at that time. He was in the extreme advance, (as was his custom,) and was shot by minnie ball, through the bowels and liver. He lived about 2 1/2 or 3 hours after the wound, remaining entirely sensible to the last moment. He died as brave a man as ever gave his life for his country."
