Summary:
Union General Darius Couch writes from Chambersburg to General William Smith on
troop movements and supply operations following the battle of Gettysburg in
July, 1863. Couch promises to get together some supply teams and send
provisions.
Gen. William F. Smith:
Chambersburg,
July 11, 1863
Gen.:
Your dispatch received. It is all right, your moving down. On the receipt of information that Hagerstown was evacuated, I intended moving down as soon as I could get Dana's troops in motion. It will trouble me a good deal to supply the command with provisions. I will try and press teams to-morrow for this use.
D. N. COUCH,
Maj.-Gen.
