Sheridan with two divisions of cavalry was watching our left front towards Cold Harbor.

Wilson with his division on our right was sent to get on the Virginia Central Railroad and destroy it as far back as possible.

He got possession of Hanover Court House the next day after a skirmish with Young's cavalry brigade.

The enemy attacked Sheridan's pickets, but reinforcements were sent up and the attack was speedily repulsed and the enemy followed some distance towards Cold Harbor..
