Letter
J. L. Van Buren to John G. Parke, March 16, 1865
HEADQUARTERS NINTH ARMY CORPS,
March 16, 1865.
March 16, 1865. Major-General PARKE: Have seen General Hartranft and sent to General Willcox. General Hartranft thinks the disturbance in the enemy’s lines is about over. He does not think they mean anything aggressive. ‘They were under arms for some purpose and seemed to be awaiting something. No tents struck. No more men apparent than yesterday. Lieutenant Wardwell, just returned from Avery’s house, agrees with this.
J. L. VAN BUREN,
Lieutenant-Colonel, §c.
