Bryce,

Richmond Dispatch 15 July 1864

"The Cavalry Fight on Tuesday

The fight on Tuesday at Reams' Station was between Gen. Fitz Lee's cavalry and the Yankee Gen Gregg. The result was, victory for us and defeat for the enemy. We took thirty-three prisoners and among them were two officers. The prisoners arrived last evening by the Petersburg train. The meanest looking among them was a North Carolina deserter, who, despite his blue uniform, was recognized by a former comrade in Petersburg. He was separated from the rest at the Provost Marshal's, and came by our office about dusk in charge of detective Hix."
