Excerpt from The War of the Rebellion, Vol. 47: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies; In Three Parts; Part II-Correspondence, Etc
General: General Slocum reports having met a very large force and thinks that Johnston's whole army is confronting him. The gen eral commanding direct-s that you do not move farther forward at pres ent, but that you get your trains well closed up, so that you may put them under guard and be ready to move up, disencumbered of wagons, to the support of the Left Wing at a moment's notice, and for that pur pose you reconnoiter carefully all roads leading in this direction. The inclosed dispatch' is from General Sherman, who wishes you to send it by some careful, trustworthy person through to General Schofield. Who is supposed to be advancing on Goldsborough, and is probably Dear Kinston.
