HEADQUARTERS LEE'S CAVALRY DIVISION,
October 25, 1863.

MAJOR: In reply to your communication of 24th, in relation to the movements of the enemy's cavalry after our army left the Rapidan, I have the honor to report that General Buford's division of cavalry crossed at Germanna Ford on the afternoon of 10th, captured 13 men from First Maryland Cavalry. Proceeding up the river to Mitchell's Ford, they captured 1 sergeant and 2 men on picket there, from the same command.

They encamped that night on the south side of the river at Mr. Gibson's, near Tobacco Stick Ford, and were attacked the next morning by General Lomax and Colonel Chambliss, in front, and by myself on their flank, having crossed a portion of my command above them at Raccoon Ford. They were driven from their position through Stevensburg to Brandy Station and thence to Rappahannock River.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

FITZ. LEE,
