This report is brief of its march of the brigade since last report of January 15, 1865. Marching being done in good order, considering the situation of the roads on the line of march, which being mostly by the side of main road in the woods, through brush and fallen timber. Order existing in reference to one wagon to each regiment has been generally complied with, and kept reasonably filled with forage for animals and provisions for men. On the line of march forage of all kinds has been plenty. Regular detailed foragers have been sent out every day when practicable for this purpose. Many animals have been captured and turned over for packing purposes, as well as the best for teams and mounting foragers. The wants of the command are reasonably supplied except clothing, which is getting much worn. The brigade has not experienced any losses nor gained by prisoners.
