HDQRS. FOURTH DIVISION, FIFTEENTH ARMY CORPS,
Near Potomac Run, Va., May 17, 1865.

Lieutenant Colonel MAX. WOODHULL,

Assistant Adjutant-General, Fifteenth Army Corps:

COLONEL: I have the honor to report the following movements of my division this instant: Breaking camp at 5 a. m., I moved upon old stage road from Mill Creek to Potomac Run, a distance of twenty-three miles, via Fredericksburg, Va., crossing the Massaponax and Rappahannock Rivers, and going into bivouac on Potomac Run at 6 p. m. The march of my column was very much retarded during the day by the trains of the troops in advance being compelled to halt an hour at the Massaponax, and again for more than that time at Hazel Run, in the suburbs of Fredericksburg. A serious detention was also experienced when near the stream on which my troops are encamped by the trains of both of the leading divisions of this corps being parked and drawing into the road in advance of my column, thus cutting it off from the ground designated for night bivouac, and compelling the men, already wearied by the severe march of the day, to move a long distance through the dust of the train column in order to pass the same and make camp before dark. My march will be continued at 5 a. m. to-morrow via Stafford Court-House.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JOHN M. CORSE,

Brevet Major-General.
