HEADQUARTERS SECOND DISTRICT, DEPARTMENT Mississippi AND EASTERN LOUISIANA, Vicksburg, May 13, 1863.

Lieutenant General J. C. PEMBERTON,

Comdg. Department Mississippi and Eastern Louisiana:

GENERAL: I have just telegraphed you in reply that I had no information from the ferries. I do not know the disposition of the troops left on the line nor the orders given them. In the absence of yourself and General Stevenson, I directed General [J. C.] Moore as follows, viz, to hold his main body on the upper line, that is, on Smeede's Hill and Fort Reynolds, and to send one regiment, with the light pieces to be sent him from Sengstak's battery, to picket as far down toward Allen's Ferry as would be safe from a sudden attack from Warrenton. This regiment to look in the direction of Red Bone Church, Allen's Ferry, and the Henderson Landing. Also another regiment to be placed near General Lee's old [recent?] headquarters [G. Gibson's]. I also directed him to keep a watch on Brown & Johnston's, and toward the city, as there are no troops between here and that place.
