Major-General Ulysses S. Grant to Major-General Edward O. C. Ord, July 1, 1863

HEADQUARTERS, July 1, 1863.
General ORD:

Have you any information besides what I sent you? If it is really true that the enemy have 12,000 troops at Hankinson's Ferry, they should be met. I will telegraph General Herron to ascertain more fully.

U.S. GRANT.
