Letter
Charles H. Morgan to Christopher C. Augur, March 22, 1865
HEADQUARTERS MIDDLE MILITARY DIVISION,
March 22, 1865.
March 22, 1865. General C. C. AUGUR, Commanding Department of Washington:
The regiment of infantry and of cavalry, under Colonel Reno, found Mosby near Harmony with about 500 men and had a skirmish in which we lost about twenty. Some of the rebel wounded, including two officers, fell into our hands, and Mosby fell back to Upperville, where it is reported he has collected considerable stores. The river is still high and Mosby must go down toward White Plains or disperse as Reno will follow him as far as Ashby’s Gap at least. He has collected quite a large force for a raid, some of our informants putting it as high as 700, including White’s battalion, but 500 is thought a large number.
Respectfully,
C. H. MORGAN,
Brevet Brigadier-General, &c.
