Word-for-word transcription (spellings kept; uncertain letters in brackets).

On our

arrival near the town, we learned, much to our surprise, that

the enemy, having been reinforced by General A. J. Smith’s

Army Corps, were in line of battle at Pleasant Hill, awaiting

our approach. Our Division was shortly afterward formed

in line of battle, as on the day before.
