As I do not know the composition of General Gordon's division, I am unable to answer your question whether the whole of it has passed through Frederick. At different hours on the 12th July, the One hundred and twenty-seventh, One hundred and forty-first, and One hundred and forty-third New York Volunteers, and the Fortieth Massachusetts Volunteers, reported to me, representing at the time that they belonged to General Gordon's division. This is all I know on the subject.
