ORD'S, July 1,
1863.
Nothing further than
the dispatch from Herron, which came from Logan and Major Wilson, via
Warrenton. Wilson was stationed near Hankinson's Ferry. I think it is likely
the enemy has shown some force there, perhaps as a feint. I have two brigades
ordered to be ready to march for the country between Warrenton and Hall's
Ferry. Shall I send them off?
E. O. C. ORD.
General GRANT. [Indorsement.]
A cavalry picket, to
give notice if crossing is attempted, will be sufficient. Only move troops
after it is known there is a force to oppose.
U.S. GRANT,
Major-General.
