above troops to move in the direction of Gunstett, and to drive the troops of the 
enemy, who are pushing forward on the south side of the Niederwald, back over 
the Sauer; then to wheel to the left and join vigorously in the fight in the 
Niederwald. 
He gives the following directions :— 
The enemy has seized all the passages across the Sauer: on the other hand our 
positions on the crests of the heights east of Nehweiler, Froschweiler and 
Elsasshausen have so far been victoriously maintained in face of repeated attacks 
by very superior forces. 
Advancing from Diirrenbach and Gunstett the enemy has occupied for more 
than two hours Morsbronn, and Lausberg (Albrechtshaiiserhof). Our right wing 
has been hurled back in a north-westerly direction into Niederwald, while 
Eberbach, after being cannonaded by several (4 or 5) batteries from the heights 
between Morsbronn and the Niederwald, has also been lost. 
In the Niederwald the battle appears to have come to a standstill on the high 
road Eberbach—Spachbach and Worth.
