Dispatch
John F. Reynolds to John Sedgwick, April 29, 1863
HEADQUARTERS FIRST ARMY CORPS,
April 29, 1863.
April 29, 1863—10 a. m. General SEDGWICK:
Since my first report of this morning, General Wadsworth threw over in boats one of his brigades, and the engineers are now building the bridges.
They say they will have the bridge in order in one hour, which means two. Hope to get one finished as soon as possible. We took probably 40 or 50 prisoners out of the rifle-pit.
Respectfully, &c.,
JOHN F. REYNOLDS,
Major-General Volunteers, Commanding.
Major-General Volunteers, Commanding.
