March 30, 1865-11.15 p. m.

General MEADE:

All right. Give me all the time you can. The command is held in readiness for any movement, though I should like to attack with the whole corps, massed, if possible, to insure success.

Major-General.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE JAMES,
Humphreys' Station, March 30, 1865.

General WRIGHT,

Commanding Sixth Corps:

Have you any reliable information of changes on enemy's front last night or this morning? Six deserters (rebels) from my front last evening. They report no changes when they left the line, which was on the 28th. Can you send me an estimate of enemy's strength on my front? I found on one here to tell me a word.

E. O. C. ORD,

Commanding.

HEADQUARTERS SIXTH ARMY CORPS,
March 30, 1865-9.35 a. m.

Major-General ORD:

No changes have been discovered on my front other than those reported to you last night. During the past few days changes have been made in the troops on the greater part of the line. Previous to Saturday two divisions of Gordon's corps, together with Bushrod Johnson's division and part of Heth's division, were to the left of my line, and consequently in front of your present position. General Webb ought to be able to give you the latest information.

H. G. WRIGHT,

Major-General.

Commanding Sixth Army Corps:

The enemy drove in our pickets last night at about 10-our line in vicinity of Fort Stedman-and made a demonstration along our front. Signal-rockets were thrown up by them, and a general cannonading unused, accompanied by heavy musketry on both sides. The main line was not touched, and the picket was re-established.

General WEBB:

My last orders, received less than on hour ago, are to be ready to attack at daylight to-morrow. Had you not better have a full understanding with General Meade, so that we may operate together? I
