Major-General Cadwallader C. Washburn to Major-General Ulysses S. Grant, June 11, 1863

[Haynes' Bluff, June 11, 1863]

There is a very large Negro Camp occupied mostly by women & children at Sniders Bluff & very near where I wish to encamp Smiths Division The presence of so many women must be very bad—can they not be removed to millikens Bend or some other point.
