Gouverneur K. Warren to Romeyn B. Ayres, March 25, 1865
HEADQUARTERS FIFTH ARMY CORPS,
March 25, 1865.
. March 25, 1865—8 a. m. General AYRES:
Follow General Crawford as far as the Gurley house if you get no other orders. Send a staff officer to General Meade’s headquarters for instructions as to where you may be needed. I am somewhat uncertain whether there will not be a strong demonstration up the Halifax road, and shall keep Griffin at the Wyatt house until urgently needed elsewhere. I have sent my escort down the Halifax road to reconnoiter beyond our picket-line.
Respectfully,
G. K. WARREN,
Major-General.
