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

[July 1, 1863.]

Major Wilson's report looks as if it would be prudent to move out troops. They had better be sent to Big Bayou tonight, and tomorrow take a strong position, whilst the Cavalry reconnoitre the enemy. We can tell better then what to do.
