The Document

[p.546]

MAY 5—4.20 p. m.

I shall allow a reasonable time to get an answer to my previous messages to General Sumner before falling back to the fort with the creek in my rear. General Sumner has ordered me to fall back to my first position, which I believe to be the fort first occupied; if not, please correct me.

WINF’D S. HANCOCK,
Brigadier- General.

General SMITH.
