Brigadier General M. K. LAWLER,

Commanding Detach. Thirteenth Army Corps, Morganza, La.:

GENERAL: The general commanding directs me to inform you that he has received information that the enemy's forces are crossing at Morgan's Ferry, and that some of the Texas cavalry are within 8 miles of here. He desires you to move in your camp at an early hour in the morning, and close on General McMillan's right, so that we may have our forces easily disposable to move out and attack. He wishes you to put your camp in as small a space as convenient for health and comfort, and suggests the clover field on McMillan's right and front, with your reserves behind the parapet, if there is room enough.

I am, sir, respectfully,

FREDERIC SPEED,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
