HDQRS. FIFTH PROVISIONAL ARMY CORPS, Numbers 2.
Mount Airy, Va., May 21, 1862.

The corps will move to-morrow in the following order: Sykes' division, 3 a. m., train following immediately. Porter's division (Brigadier-General Morell's), 5.30 a. m., two regiments in rear of Reserve Artillery. Hunt's Reserve Artillery at 6.30 a. m. The baggage train of the last two will follow in rear of the artillery, in the order in which they march. Quartermasters (brigade and regimental) must accompany their trains and not permit them to stop, and on arrival at camp will push them to their proper places, so as not to delay arrival of trains in rear. Brigadier-General Sykes will send forward a pioneer party and put in good order the bridge over mill-race at Parsley's Mill. Sykes' division will push up and camp near Franklin, in vicinity of Cold Harbor. Morell will camp near Sykes (in rear); Hunt will camp near mill-dam. Each commander of division will send forward a staff officer to select his camp-ground, and put his command in position without delaying those in rear. If supplies are required, commanders will send to White House to-morrow night the necessary wagons.
