196. skirmish near Fairfax Court House, Va.
Captain W. H. Boyd's report.
camp Kearny, near Alexandria, Va., Nov. 17, 1862. Capt. E. Sparrow Purdy, A. A. G., Alexandria Division:
sir: A reconnoitring party of a squadron of cavalry, consisting of my company and Captain Bennett's, was ordered out this day, under my command.
The command proceeded along the Little River turnpike to within a short distance of Annandale, where we passed the last of our pickets.
Here we halted, and ght be captured, as the enemy's cavalry, in squads of about a dozen, are in the habit of patrolling the road early in the morning and late in the evening.
A few companies of infantry, a section of artillery, and a squadron of cavalry might dislodge the enemy from Fairfax Court House.
The roads to Fairfax Court House are in excellent condition for all arms of the service.
I have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. H. Boyd, Captain Company Lincoln Cavalry.
