Major GUINDON,

Aide-de-Camp, Major-General, Slocum's Staff:

MAJOR: I am going into camp at this point with my division after a march of twenty-three miles; the bridge at this point has been destroyed and no ford for the trains. I will commence immediately the construction of another bridge, and will push on in the morning as soon as it is complete. I am still on what is called Haile's Ferry road, and as yet have been unable to get any reliable information about a road leading to Sneedsborough. From Mount Croghan to this point the road is heavy but not hilly.

COLONEL: I am going into camp with my division at this point after a march of twenty-three miles. The bridge over this creek has been destroyed or I should have gone two miles farther. Another bridge will be immediately constructed. I will push forward in the morning as soon as the bridge is completed in the direction of Sneedsborough, N.
