“ After crossing we marched through the old battle-field of Sharpsburg, and crossed Anteatum creek on the stone bridge, and rested until morning. Then we marched slowly all day, feeling for the enemy. Genl. Wright's son, Wm. A. Wright was captured by the enemy, but the General succeeded in getting him released by some means, I do not know how. He, Wright's son, had not more than gotten well of his wound that he got at 2nd Manassas, when he lost his leg.”
