Report of Captain Timothy Reves.
CAMP, Kelley's Mill, May 31, 1863.
MAJOR: We went on our trip near Patterson, and found a scout had started in the direction of Doniphan. We routed the enemy by killing 1 man, 6 horses, how many wounded we to not know; the horses killed were shot all over; the men with them were undoubtedly wounded. We captured about 22 horses and saddles, blankets, &c. We fell back on Current River, 15 miles above Doniphan, for the purpose of resting our horses and watching the enemy for two or three days, when we expect to return to camp.
Please forward a copy of the dispatch to Colonel [J. Q.] Burbridge forthwith.
Very respectfully,
T. REVES,
Captain.
