The objects of the several patrols stated will be to ascertain and give notice of the approach and movements generally of the enemy.
The officers in charge of the patrols will make report to you every morning and evening in writing, and you will promptly consolidate those reports and forward to these headquarters. In making such morning and evening reports, the officers in charge of patrols will send in a mounted courier, and not return themselves or their patrols to the city without order or permission. The cavalry force under Colonel Pierce will be stationed at such points as General Lockwood deems proper, as a reserve for the mounted citizens doing duty as patrols.
