Meade, commanding the Army of the Potomac, writes to General Rawlins. Recently received intelligence from an officer of Confederate Nathaniel Harrison Harris's Brigade, William Mahone's Division. Reports that the officer was in Petersburg the previous day, and heard nothing of a Confederate Brigade being moved, or of troops being detached from Robert E. Lee's army. Relates that this information is supported by others. Mentions a newspaper report regarding William T. Sherman's operations in Georgia (Sherman's March to the Sea commenced mid-November 1864). Written on Headquarters, Army of the Potomac stationery.
