Letter
Gouverneur K. Warren to Humphreys, July 30, 1864
HEADQUARTERS FIFTH ARMY CORPS,
July 30, 1864.
July 30, 1864—6.40 a.m. General HUMPHREYS: I have all my troops on my right except General Crawford’s. I have sent him your dispatch, with directions to do whatever he can on the left with Baxter’s brigade and half of Lyle’s. Do you mean for me to move Ayres in that direction? The enemy have a 30-pounder battery on the main ridge in my front behind their first line. We cannot make out what this second line is.
G. K. WARREN,
Major-General.
