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.
