Lieut. Jesse F. Wyckorr, I have the honor to report that the command of 100 men that went out with me last night have returned this a. m. in good order. We left these headquarters at about 8 p. m. last night, proceeded to Round Top Mountain, arrived there about 10 p.m. The signal officer who accompanied me had communications from this camp by signals, We saw nocamp-fires of the enemy. We remained there until daybreak this morning. I then sent four scouts, with instructions to goto Woodstock, if possible. As soon as they return back, I will make a report of the expedition.
