HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF
THE POTOMAC,
March 29, 1865. (Received
9.15 p.m.)
Lieut. Col. T. S. BOWERS:
The two corps moved out, meeting with no serious opposition
until quite late in the afternoon, when Griffin's division, of Warren's corps,
struck the enemy and had quite a fight. Griffin captured about 100 of the
enemy. His loss not reported. Warren promptly brought up his whole corps, and
upon advancing he found that the enemy had retired to his main works. Humphreys
met with no opposition in his advance. Warren's left is across the plank road.
Humphreys' right is on Hatcher's. Sheridan is at Dinwiddie, and no enemy to
oppose him.
