Strawberry Plains, March 2, 1864.Brigadier General E. E. POTTER,
Chief of Staff, Strawberry Plains:
GENERAL: From scouting parties and citizens who have come into the lines, I learn that a force of enemy's cavalry entered Dandridge yesterday morning. This force divided, part remaining in Dandridge and part advancing 8 miles this side. The object seems to have been plunder and impressment of citizens. I have had a scouting party out 10 miles to-day, without meeting the enemy. I am inclined to the belief that the party that advanced yesterday has gone back to Dandridge, where I am told there is a considerable force of the enemy, all cavalry. We will be on our guard here, and unless the force is very large, do not apprehend any danger.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
DANIEL CAMERON,
Colonel, Commanding.
