Headquarters Third Regiment, Excelsior Brigade, Camp near Harrison's Landing, Va. , July 4th, 1862. Captain: I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by the regiment under my command i...n the at- tack made by the enemy upon the corps of General Porter and division of General Couch on the 1st instant. At about half an hour before sunset notice was given me that the brigade was ordered to support General Porter. MALVERN HILL. 55 The Brigade, in going to support, marched left in front, my regiment being upon the left of the brigade. Upon ap- proaching the scene of action after some delay, which was occasioned by the difficulty of finding the precise point where a support was needed, General Porter appeared, and direct- ed the brigadier-general commanding the brigade to support with his command two batteries, which were then stationed to the right and rear of a large farm house.
