Thomas J. Davis reports that he is in good health and describes the particulars of the Battle of Corinth. Backed by the Wisconsin Fourteenth and Seventeenth regiments and the Michigan Fifteenth regiment, Davis' regiment was able to drive back the Confederate force that had forced them to retreat on the first day of the battle. Two friends of Davis' were wounded in the shoulder, though not seriously. Davis is not sure how many casualities were suffered on his side, though describes heavy losses on the part of the Confederates, including parts of the rear guard and artillery that were captured by his regiment.
