Hd. qrs. Cavalry Division
Mechanicstown, Oct 11. 10.30 P.M.
To General R. B. Marcy-
Chief of Staff
Have sent to Middleburg &
Taneytown to see if rebels have
passed these points--My battery
is in position should they
attempt to come thro' here to
night I shall be ready--There
is no point unguarded by
scouts & if they do their duty
I shall be apprised in time
of their movements--
Have heard nothing
yet from either Emmettsburg
or Gettysburg & all the roads
as far east as Westminster
are watched--
Very respectfully
A. Pleasanton
Brig General
