By order of his Excellency I have to Inform you that this Army is about to March up the Road by which we came down and is not to Halt untill we get beyond that Road which leads from Parkers Ford into the Reading Road, beyond the Trapp. It is the Generals desire that you move on with your Division so as to be nearly on a Line between us and the Schuylkill, leaving a small Pickett at each Fording Place as a party of Observation. Generals Maxwell and Potter are to March up and Join you. I am, etc.
PS. Before you leave your Encampment you will please make large Fires so that your March may be unexpected. [More]
