Lieutenant-General EWELL,
Commanding, Richmond:

Harris' brigade will proceed to join General Mahone. I judge from your telegram that you have already given it orders to that effect.

O. LATROBE,

Assistant Adjutant-General.

HEADQUARTERS FIRST ARMY CORPS, March 20, 1865.

Major General G. W. C. LEE,
Commanding Division:

Your communication of the 9th instant, respecting the lighting up of the face of your line in the event of a night attack, has remained unanswered until now in consequence of the absence of our headquarters. General Longstreet desires that you make arrangements for that purpose. You had best communicate with General Alexander, chief of artillery, on the subject and proceed to work in co-operation with him.

Respectfully, your obedient servant,

O. LATROBE,

Assistant Adjutant-General.

HEADQUARTERS FIRST ARMY CORPS, March 20, 1865.

Brigadier General M. W. GARY,
Commanding Cavalry, Vaughan's House:

You will remove your cavalry from the cabins on the line. General Pickett now holds the line from the York River Railroad to Mrs. Price's and your men will be withdrawn to your camp in the rear. General Pickett will relieve your guards.

O. LATROBE,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
