CHAPTER LII
2/16

Warren and Hancock came by the Brock Road.

Sedgwick crossed the Ny at Catharpin Furnace.

Burnside coming by Aldrich's to Gates's house, had to cross the Ny near the enemy.

He found pickets at the bridge, but they were soon driven off by a brigade of Willcox's division, and the stream was crossed.

This brigade was furiously attacked; but the remainder of the division coming up, they were enabled to hold their position, and soon fortified it.
About the time I received the news of this attack, word came from Hancock that Early had left his front.
