HEADQUARTERS CAMP,
Stanford, August 18, 1863.
I learn that the Ninth Corps have been committing some irregularities in Covington. You will of course give the necessary orders to stop it and punish the offenders. Please order De Courcy’s brigade to Crab Orchard at once, and get one of your brigades to this place as soon as possible; it is a very good place for them. Communicate with General Boyle, and get him to relieve the Fortyeighth Pennsylvania as soon as possible You will find him ready to co-operate with you, and I am sure you will render him all the assistance in Kentucky be may require.
