Brigadier-General CHALMERS, Commanding Cavalry, &c. :

GENERAL: We have information that is considered reliable by the commanding general indicating movements of large bodies of the enemy to the east via Jacinto. Others are reported moving west, leaving him very weak in front. Can you use your cavalry—especially such companies as Roddey’s—to feel and develop him? We must not lose an opportunity to strike whenever he presents it. It is reported that two divisions passed through Jacinto to the east on the 9th and 10th.

your obedient servant,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
