Alfred Pleasonton to Major-General Maps, August 22, 1863

Major-General Maps, Army of the Potomac:

General Briggs has been placed in charge of the removal of all drafted men from Alexandria to the Army of the Potomac. When possible, General Heintzelman will supply guards. When he cannot supply them, General Briggs will send his requisitions to you. These escorts will serve as guards to the trains.

H. W. HALLECK, General-in-Chief.

Hb@Rs. CAVALRY CorPs, AKMY OF THE Potomac, August 22, 1863—8 a. m. Brigadier-General KILPATRICK, I send you a copy of telegraph sent to you at 10.30 p. m. last night, with request to answer. I fear you have not received it: The major-general commanding Army of the Potomac wishes to know upon what

road the troops opposite Falmouth were moving, and upon what road the trains were moving south of Fredericksburg.

Please answer. C. ROSS SMITH, Ineutenant-Colonel, and Chief of Staff.

Hpers. CAVALRY Corps, ARMY OF THE Potomac, August 22, 1863—8.30 a. m. (Received 9 a. m.)} Major-General HUMPHREYS, Chief of Staff:

GENERAL: Nothing from General Kilpatrick this morning as yet. General Gregg reports all quiet and no changes. General Merritt reports that there has been no perceivable change in front of Rappahannock Station—

No movement indicating withdrawal. Their line continues the same and about the same strength as when the entire division was there.

Very respectfully,
