Report of operations of Bratton's brigade from May 7th, 1864 to January, 1865. camp near Williamsburg road, Bratton's Brigade, January 1st, 1865. In compliance with orders I have the honor to make the following report of the operations of this brigade since the battle of the Wilderness, 6th May, 1864. The morning of the 7th May found the brigade in line of battle on the right of and perpendicular to the plank road, along the ridge that had been so hotly contested on the morning before. A crude breastwork of logs was thrown up, and we remained in this position until about nine o'clock P. M., when orders to move came. Skirmishing was more or less brisk all day; our loss was eight or ten men wounded. We moved in accordance with orders across the railroad, by the Catharpin road to Spotsylvania Court-house, and arrived in the vicinity on the next morning (the 8th instant) at about ten o'clock, to find the enemy's cavalry in possession of and between us and the courthouse.
