Byt. Brigadier General G. W. WEST,

Commanding Second Brigade:

GENERAL: The brevet major-general commanding directs that, instead of slashing on General Smyth's front, you slash in front of the battery on General McAllister's line. General Smyth, it is supposed, can slash his own front. The slashing should be made as far [as] possible to the picket-line.

Very respectfully,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
