HEADQUARTERS FIFTH ARMY CORPS, July 11, 1864-11.55 p.m.

Brigadier-General GRIFFIN,
Commanding First Division:

GENERAL: My orders are for you to strengthen your own left to the extent indicated. I suppose you do not need a staff officer from me to show you where that point is. You can use any part of your reserve brigade necessary to enable you to hold that point. You have nothing special to do with the part assigned to General Crawford.

Respectfully,

G. K. WARREN,

Major-General, Commanding.

HEADQUARTERS THIRD DIVISION, FIFTH CORPS, July 11, 1864.

Lieutenant Colonel F. T. LOCKE,
Assistant Adjutant-General, Fifth Corps:

COLONEL: Cavalry scouts from the left (Colonel Bryan's command) report that Hill's corps left Petersburg at 5 p.m. yesterday, going southward, and that sharp skirmishing was heard in the direction of Reams' Station.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

S. W. CRAWFORD,

Brigadier-General, Commanding.

HEADQUARTERS FIFTH ARMY CORPS, July 11, 1864.

Brigadier-General CRAWFORD,
Commanding Third Division:

GENERAL: The major-general commanding directs me to say that the two square redoubts now being built will be held by your troops, and that you must be prepared to occupy them at a moment's notice, as the Second Corps may be required elsewhere.

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

FRED. T. LOCKE,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
