Brigadier General EDWARD HATCH,

Commanding Cavalry Division, near Bough's Mills:

GENERAL: I have received your letter of yesterday relative to forage and subsistence for your command. I think, with you, that it is not practicable to send you forage from this place in the present condition of the roads. So long as forage can be had within ten or fifteen miles of your position, the method you suggest is much better, and i will furnish you the necessary teams. A trains tared the day before yesterday with commissary stores for your command, and ought, I suppose, them for the purpose of foraging, so long as you can find forage in the country; if they are not sufficient let me know and I will send you more. If we remain at this place I will have my teams here in a few days, and
