HDQRS. DEPARTMENT AND ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE,
Mill Creek, N. C., March 21, 1865.

Major General JOHN A. LOGAN,

Commanding Fifteenth Army Corps:

GENERAL: The general understood that there were two regiments besides General Woods' brigade with the train, and the order was to bring forward General Woods' brigade only. General Blair had withdrawn the brigade, understanding that but one regiment would remain at the temporary depot, and that the rest be brought forward at once, so that there was but one organized regiment there at best. It was understood also from Major Woodhull that there were two regiments with the train. The general wishers that the regiment intended as a guard for the temporary depot be sent as early as possible in the a. m., and that your prisoners be sent with it if they can be got ready. Captain Gilbreth was sent back this a. m., with orders to take all trains to Everettsville, using the engineer regiment and all detachments as a guard.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

A. M. VAN DYKE,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
