November 10, 1863. Major-General HUMPHREYS, Chief of Staff :
GENERAL: I have the honor to report that the two divisions of this corps took position last night at the point indicated in your circular of yesterday. When the Third Division joins it will be posted on the left, and I think must extend to near General French’s right. It was too dark last night to make the connection of pickets, but it will be made this morning. My headquarters are at the Welford house, nearly opposite the ford.
Very respectfully,
JOHN SEDGWICK,
Major-General.
