Brigadier-General SMITH:
Note received, &c. I cannot give you an order to join Meade, not knowing about your position in reference to the Army of the Potomac. With my present force, if you go forward, I must remain here for a time. If it is in accordance with Meade's wishes, go by all means. Captain Potter will see you to-night and explain matters.
There is no difficulty in getting provisions now. I have set that all right. Provisions have been sent to Gettysburg for you. Let me know if you leave.
Respectfully, yours,
