Sussex Court-House, December 11, 1864-11 a.m.

General POTTER,

Commanding Second Division, Ninth Army Corps:

GENERAL: I have received word from Colonel Roebling that you are at the Nottoway River with your division. We shall not need your assistance further, and if your men are not too fatigued I wish you would march back at once, as you may be needed with your corps. Leave the pontoon bridge for me. General Gregg, with two brigades of cavalry, will follow you, if you move at once so as to leave the road clear for him.

Respectfully,

G. K. WARREN,

Major-General.

General POTTER:

Since writing, I have received your dispatch of 9 a.m. I presume you are too tired to go back till to-night. I want the pontoon bridge laid at once for convenience.
