HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, December 12, 1864-9 a.m. (Sent 9.15 a.m.)

Major General R. B. POTTER,
Commanding, &c., Jones' House:

I am directed by the commanding general to say that the disposition made by you last evening of the troops that accompanied you to the Nottoway sufficiently meets his wishes with regard to concentrating them in the vicinity of the Jones house to render unnecessary any change this morning in their positions. He desires that the supplies of the troops so far as required should be replenished as soon as practicable and that they be held in readiness to move at short notice. Please acknowledge.

S. WILLIAMS,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
