Excerpt from Report of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War, at the Second Session, Thirty-Eighth Congress: Army of the Potomac, Battle of Petersburg Simultaneous with the advance of your column on the Bowling Green road, if at all, a column will also advance on the telegraph road, and between you will sweep the country between the two highways and the railroad. You will be within easy communication, and both columns will spring to one another's assistance in case of encountering any considerable resistance, which can best be judged of by the magnitude of the fire. Keep your provisions and ammunition and forage replenished, leaving as much of your train to be brought afterwards as practicable. Trains will only embarrass and check your forward movement, and must not accompany you, unless it be the pack train.
