| General Iverson reports that the mail
rider was captured by the enemy at or near Shallow Ford, and
released. He reports that Stoneman's main body camped last night
near Shallow Ford, on the west bank of the Yadkin. May not this
column now move down that river either to Yadkin bridge (railroad)
or Salisbury? Would it not be well to send, say, 500 men, under
General B. T. Johnson, who is still here, to Salisbury? |

[Indorsements] |
| Order General Johnson to repair
forthwith to Salisbury. I am surprised at his delay. Send 500 men
with him by cars {North Carolina RR} to
break, and 500 more soon as practicable after. Order trains from
Salisbury to meet troops across the break. |
| G. T. Beauregard |
| Yadkin bridge should be well guarded on
both sides, especially on south side now. |
