Jul. Stahel to J. H. Taytor, June 10, 1868
HEADQUARTERS,
Kettle Rum, June 10, 1868.
Lieut. Col. J. H. Taytor, Chief of Staff, and A. A. G., Dept. of Washington:
As soon as I was informed by General Pleasonton yesterday afternoon that he would recross, and that he would send his train to Bealeton, I ordered Colonel Mann with his regiment from Warrenton Junction to Bealeton, for the protection of the train, and sent the First Vermont to Warrenton Junction to take his place. The expedition which was sent out yesterday, in accordance with orders from the War Department, has not yet returned.
All quiet to-day. Have heard nothing yet from General Pleasonton. At the arrival of the first train I will go to see him, and report after my return.
Very respectfully,
JUL. STAHEL,
Major-General.
