Letter
D. Mann to H. BaLpwIy, Jr, June 6, 1863
HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY FORCES,
Bristoe Station, Va., June 6, 1863—2 p. m..
Maj. H. BaLpwIy, Jr., Assistant Adjutant-General, Fairfax Court-House :
General Buford telegraphs me that at 8 o’clock this a. m. he personally was still at Warrenton Junction, but had sent one division toward Culpeper, and would inform me of anything important, which I will report promptly to you. I understand Buford’s force in all about this road to be some 7,000 effective.
Scouting party sent at 4 a.m. to New Baltimore has returned. Found no considerable force or evidence of movement that way. En- countered Mosby’s pickets, and drove them to the mountains. Mosby is beyond doubt again between New Baltimore and White Plains. No news from expedition sent to Thoroughfare Gap.
Respectfully, othgscayton
. D. MANN,
Colonel 'of Cavalry.
Colonel 'of Cavalry.
