Seth Williams to George Stoneman, April 22, 1863
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAQG,
April 22, 1863.
April 22, 1863. Major-General STONEMAN, if Your telegram of this date received. It is hoped the arrival of the trains has enabled you to replenish your supplies, both of subsistence and forage, and it is expected that you are again prepared for a forward movement, so far as regards your stores. The commanding general therefore directs that you proceed across the river to-morrow morning, if the fords are practicable. The general does not look for one moment’s delay in your advance from any cause that human effort can obviate, and directs me to add that this army is awaiting your movement.
S. WILLIAMS,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
