UNION CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.--#6
BALTIMORE,
March 24, 1863.
Colonel TRUEX,
Frederick City, Md.:
At midnight Colonel Schley reported from Point of Rocks that Stuart, with his cavalry, had passed Leesburg in the direction of Nolan's Ferry. Doubtful; but still you will be on the alert with your Jerseymen at Monocacy and on the railroad. This will be communicated here to General Briggs.
R. C. SCHENCK,
Major-General, Commanding.
-------
NOTE: The area around the Monocacy bridge is very necessary to access the road to Gettysburg. Stuart's Cavalry is reported and if the Cavalry raid overran the 14th New Jersey 'guard' on any of the portions of the railroad, that person would be on the Special Muster Roll. The date of April 1863 is an active one as Lee was on the March and leading up to the Gettysburg campaign.
