Brig General Pitspitr,

Sir, I have the honor to report that the Dept of Missouri Muster was held on the above date and location under the command of Col GW Strong.  The officers and men of the Dept of Missouri and the Division of Illinois distinguished themselves by holding off and putting to flight a force twice their size.

Twenty troopers, 4 participating in their first muster, deployed the Gatlin Gun and effective volley fire to take a fortification and rule the field on this day.  Company officers reported that there were no casualties and that all of our troopers reported in full complement after this engagement. Competent marksmanship was delivered by all twenty on this day of battle.

In service and reporting,
LtCol Long, Commander Division of Illinois.
