About 11 o'clock Bate's Brigade moved from beyond the first crest in the woods east of this position and at once became engaged with Union troops in line west of the Lafayette Road at the Poe Place. The advance through the open field was made under a fire which occasioned heavy loss. The left of the Brigade crossed the road but was repulsed by the troops in the railworks west of the Poe Field. The right was subjected to an oblique fire from E.A. King's Brigade and from a flank and rear fire from Turchin's Brigade. After an hour's fighting and a loss of 30 per cent of those engaged the Brigade fell back to its morning position where it remained until the general advance shortly before



sunset.
