General
Your dispatch of 10.30 am
rec'd--I have sent a force
to Fayetteville to cover the fords
near that place & have them
covered by another force from
Sulphur Springs--no enemy in
sight at the latter place--
My pickets towards Orleans
& Waterloo have been attacked--
nothing serious--d.H. Hill &
Jackson are in the vicinity of
Strasburg, so says a contraband
from them--I shall cover
your column with my brigade,
please let me know in time your
movements, that I may cover
the ford as you leave there--
Very respectfully
A. Pleasonton
Brig. General
