HEADQUARTERS FIRST NEW JERSEY CAVALRY,
September 2, 1864.

Captain H. C. WEIR,

Assistant Adjutant-General, Second Division, Cavalry Corps:

I have the honor to report that I drove in the enemy's pickets on the railroad to within 400 yards of the junction of it with the Dinwiddie Court-House road, at which point the enemy appeared in force of about fifty, firing on my men, and on the Vaughan road I drove them across the swamp. Both these roads they had barricaded by trees and wires. Across the swamp they had a camp of cavalry, probably a reserve of their pickets. No movement of the enemy could be detected on either of these road. The pickets belonged to Colonel Gregg's brigade, and were picketing strongly. The Second Brigade does not connect with my left, and this line is in good condition, excepting the left.

JOHN W. KESTER,

Colonel, Commanding Cavalry Pickets.

The above is reported by the division picket officer. General Griffin has furnished me with a
