Captain A. R. Chisholm, A. D. C, Spotswood Hotel, Richmond, Va..

Should you not be able to obtain an answer to my letter, see Secretary of War on subject, and return soon as practicable. We have just defeated enemy on Weldon road near here, capturing large number of prisoners.

G. T. Beauregard.

near Petersburg, Va., Aug. 20th, 1864—8:15 A. M.
General R. E. Lee, Chaffin's Bluff.

General Hill reports enemy still occupying part of Weldon railroad, where he is fortifying. Am endeavoring to make necessary arrangement to dislodge him to-day if practicable.

G. T. Beauregard.

August 20th, 1864—P. M.
General R. E. Lee, Chaffin's Bluff.

Dispatches of 1:00 and 1:45 o'clock P. M. just received. Prisoners state the Second corps has relieved Ninth corps in trenches. Signal stations reporting movement of troops would seem to confirm this. Every available man who can be spared from trenches has been withdrawn. Shall try attack in the morning with all the force I can spare. I will call on Wilcox for a brigade, as instructed.

G. T. Beauregard.

Richmond, VA. 1888.
