yes, commanding the left column, received information that from 5,000 to 8,000 of the enemy were strongly entrenched at Lee's Mill. Still ignorant of the true course of the Warwick and of its relations to the entrenchments at Lee's Mill, and alive tLee's Mill, and alive to the necessity of preventing further reinforcements to the garrison at Yorktown, I, on the evening of the 4th, ordered the movements for the 5th as follows: Smith's division to move at six A. M. via Warwick Court-House to the Halfway House on theter. Sedgwick, temporarily attached to headquarters, to move with the reserves to Dr. Pavis's house, where the road to Lee's Mill diverged, and there await orders. If Heintzelman found it possible to assault the works at Yorktown immediately, therrying out his orders, the reserves were in position to move at once to his support. If Keyes had succeeded in passing Lee's Mill and reaching the Halfway House, I should at once have gone to his support with all the reserves and one of Heintzelman'

At Lee's Mill we have a causeway covered by formidable batterie fire of the enemy's artillery. From its head to Lee's Mill the Warwick was flooded by means of artificial inle until their artillery-fire was reduced. Below Lee's Mill the river was a tidal stream, not fordable at any one practicable under the circumstances. From Lee's Mill a line of works extended to the enemy's rear to Sg parties and adjacent woods. Your flank towards Lee's Mill should be carefully watched, also towards Wynn's neral plan involving the use of batteries against Lee's Mill and other contiguous points. From the statement ries on his left to guard against any attack from Lee's Mill, and commenced operations with his remaining brigguns of the 4th corps a feint was to be made upon Lee's Mill, to be converted into a real attack if the effect

nt of him in some force of infantry and cavalry. Gen. Stoneman has been ordered to move as rapidly as possible to the Halfway House, and to take possession of the cross-road near that place, to cut off this command, and also to send a strong reconnoissance towards Blen's wharf. I wish Hooker to follow this movement with the utmost rapidity. When he reaches the point where the road branches off near the Halfway House, to leave a portion of his force there, and with the rest to gain the Lee's Mill and Williamsburg road, so as to support Stoneman and aid him in cutting off the retreat of the enemy. The division should move simply with its ambulances and some reserve ammunition, with not more than two days rations. Should further information from Smith render it necessary to move Kearny's division also, I would be glad to have you take control of the entire movement. Smith is in possession of their works, and the enemy referred to are some distance in rear of them-how far I do not
