CC Washburn's Missing Report in OR?

Hi,

Am interested in finding a possibly missing report by Maj Gen Cadwallader Colden Washburn writing from the La. Teche country around 24 Oct 1863. In his report for that date (available in the OR) he refers to an earlier report in which he incorrectly identified a captured Confederate general as (Alfred) Mouton. He corrects himself to say it was La. militia general (James) Trudeau who was captured. Does anyone know of that earlier report? Would also be curious to know if CC Washburn was related to my g-g-gf Peter Thacher Washburn, Adj Gen of Vt. 1861-66, and gov of that state, 1869. As Lt Col of 1st Vt Regt, PTW led charge of Union troops at Big Bethel, VA 10 May 1861, his only combat action of the war.

Thanks!
