Letter

John F. Reynolds to Alfred Pleasonton, June 13, 1863

General PLEASONTON : Please let me know where you picket with your cavalry. You ought to watch as high up as Waterloo Bridge, at least. If you do not go up so far, have it done at once, and have your pickets on the river strong.

Major-General of Volunteers, Commanding.
