Arriving in England, Nelson went to Bath, and there passed through a period of extreme suffering and tedious recovery.
The steady fire of Rousseau's men again drove them to retreat; Rousseau advanced into the timber, passed through it to an open field, when Trabue, who, with three regiments was engaged with McClernand, united the two portions of his brigade and charged furiously upon Rousseau.
