Sir
The Light Corps with the Jersey Infantry and Brigade of Cavalry are at Indian Creek in Segonier Valley — where they continue, till this division gets up, which will be this morning, as the march will com-
mence [undecipherable] an hour. This division had, I believe, the
[undecipherable] [undecipherable] encumbered with all the [undecipherable] which [has] thrown it a days march [behind] the other. But by a letter received yester[day] from Governor Lee it appears that the right wing is fully in [undecipherable] with the left. All [undecipherable] essentially [undecipherable] with both wings & the [undecipherable] doctrine [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] as [would] possibly [have been] expected.
The Meeting at Parker[undecipherable: Parkersburg?] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] told [undecipherable] a new appointment of Commissioners to deprecate the advance of the army and [undecipherable] expressions of pacific intentions. But there is no thing which can occasion a question about the propriety of the army's proceeding to its ultimate destination. No appearances whatever of opposition [occur?].
You desired that a table of the routes of the left wing might be sent you. None was left with any officer of this wing.
with the truest respect & attachment
I have the honor to be
P.S. [undecipherable] Sir
It is hoped that the Your Obed. Servt
original papers have been A. Hamilton
forwarded, as the list furnished
from the Secretary of States office
would be a deceptive guide — Memoranda of the [Adj?]
General [undecipherable] by this express will greatly aid + perhaps
sufficiently. But the originals would be best.
