Hartwood Ohurch, April 27, 1863.
Maj. Gen. O. O. Howarp, Commanding Eleventh Oorps :
GENERAL: I have arrived at this point, and will go into camp as soon as the troops come up. I have instructed division commanders upon their arrival in camp to-morrow not to allow any music or bugle-calls, and to take every precaution to conceal their position from the enemy. I wish you would inform me this p. m.at what hour in the morning your command will be clear of the road, so that I may know what time to start my leading division.
Very truly, yours, H. W. SLOCUM ° ° 9
Major-General Volunteers, Commanding.
