TERRY'S HEADQUARTERS,
June 17, 1864-6 a.m.
Colonel SHAFFER:
I have re-enforced the picket-line four regiments, making seven in all. I think the force now there will be sufficient.
A. H. TERRY,
Brigadier-General.
GENERAL BUTLER'S HEADQUARTERS,
June 17, 1864.
General TERRY:
What heavy firing of infantry this morning? What news from the front?
B. F. BUTLER,
Major-General.
TERRY'S HEADQUARTERS,
June 17, 1864-6.15 a.m.
Major-General BUTLER:
The heavy firing was from a strong attack on the picket-line. The firing has now ceased and the line is so re-enforced as to be, in my opinion, secure. General Wright's troops lie behind the center ready to move.
A. H. TERRY,
Brigadier-General.
GENERAL BUTLER'S HEADQUARTERS,
June 17, 1864-8 a.m. (Received 8.05 a.m.)

The commanding general directs that you cease firing that gun.
