The account given by Colonel Monroe, of the manner in which was saved from capture one of the pieces of his section, at the first battle of Bull Run, of which piece I was sergeant, is substantially correct.
JOHN H. HAMMOND,
Formerly Sergeant Battery A, First R. I. L. A.,
Late Lieutenant H. G., R. I. V.
To the best of my recollection the account as given by Colonel Monroe is correct.
CHAS. D. OWEN,
