scout thoroughly the brush. He afterwards reported that he saw no bushwhackers, and scarcely any fresh sings. With the rest of my command and Major Pritchard's force I started west for Independence, scouting as I went, and detaching large parties to the right and left. Reached Independence about noon. I then ordered Major Pritchard with his command to Raytown, and Captain Moses with his company (M) on the next day to scout the Little blue from Blue Springs to the Pleasant Hill road, to reach Pleasant Hill that night. He afterwards reported no guerrillas in that section of country. I went with Lieutenant Rizer's company (I) to Kansas City same evening. June 20, went to raytown with Company I and 20 men of Company E, scouting the Big Blue. June 21, started for Pleasant Hill through the Little Blue country; reached there 3 p. m. The distance traveled by main command, 130 miles.

I am, captain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
