Hartwood Church, April 27, 1863-12 m.

Major General O. O. HOWARD,

Commanding Eleventh Corps:

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,

Major-General Volunteers, Commanding.
