After some movements to the left, night came on, when the enemy attacked, and after two hours fighting the regiment moved to the line southeast of the Kelly Field.

About 5 p.m. the line was again attacked, and soon after withdrew under orders to the woods west of the Kelly Field, thence to Rossville.
