T have ordered the whole corps under arms, to move at once to Fort Dushane, leaving out my pickets and one brigade at the bridge at Hatcher’s Run. I can take the whole of this force to General Parke if circumstances make it necessary.
G. K. WARREN, Major-General of Volunteers.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,
Commanding Fifth Corps: General Wright is sending one division to Parke. How many troops do you send? GEO. D. RUGGLES,
Assistant Adjutant-General.

General Crawford’s division is about moving toward General Parke. General Ayres will follow him closely. Until things develop more I think it best not to move General Griffin further than to the Wyatt house.
Respectfully,
