General Longstreet wishes you to re-enforce the force at Doggett's with all of Gary's mounted men and your own, if necessary, to develop the enemy's strength. If they are coming by that road he wishes [you] to go down and fight them below Seven Pines.

Major General FITZ LEE,

General Longstreet thinks you had better send more force to Doggett's-enough to hold the crossing against any force. Keep your scouts well out below so as to prevent any force from surprising the force there by getting in their rear.
