Nov 8. 11.30 a.m
To General Burnside
General--
I have found another
gun abandoned by Stuarts
Cavalry--the carriage they
burnt up, but the caisson
is all right--this makes
the third gun taken this
morning--the caisson is
full of six pounder ammunition
& the gun is a twelve pounder
iron--I hear that Stuarts
command is about played
out--I captured an infantry
man this morning belonging
to 7th Texas regt--He
says they intent to fight
at Culpepper
Very respectfully
A. Pleasonton
Brig. Genl.
