John D. Stevenson to DwiGHtT, March 23, 1865
March 23, 1865. General DwiGHtT, Commanding Nineteenth Corps:
The major-general commanding directs that you send a regiment of infantry, with two days’ rations, to-morrow morning, from Stephenson’s Depot to Snicker’s Ferry, to get such information as is practicable concerning the guerrilla parties and to arrest any people engaged in conscripting, and to bring in all serviceable horses. At the ferry the regiment may hear from or communicate with possibly an expedition moving down on the other side of the river. Send a few mounted men as couriers.
C. H. MORGAN, Brevet Brigadier-General and Chief of Staff.
