Porter's division, as at Games' Mills, bore the brunt. Our men were abandoned, dead and dying, on the field. I have lain down exactly two hours in three nights. I am too nervous and dispirited to write. In the Second Brigade, McQuade is the only colonel alive. Thank God for the awful days I have gone through safely. Send word that I saw Heckscher yesterday at 6 P. M. Your affectionate son, E. T. A. HARRISON'S LANDING, JAMES RIVER, Saturday, July 5, 1862. MY DEAR MOTHER, I have sent you several ...notes and one telegram, telling you of my safety. From what I hear, however, of the stoppage of mails, I doubt if they arrive under a week. The telegram which went over the wires the night of the 27th, I see by your letter of the 29th, you had not then received. 5 68 LETTERS. I sincerely thank God that I have passed unhurt through the horrors of the last ten days. I am, of course, worn out with fatigue, but am otherwise well. I see by the Times of the 4th, that you are still but slightly informed of what has been going on here.
