From Hd. Qrs., A.P.

June 25, 1863

To

Maj. Gen. Reynolds

Assume command of the 3rd and 11th Corps with your own. They are all under orders to cross the river today. A Brigade of Stahl’s Cavry. with four pieces of artillery is ordered to report to you—I wish them to seize Compton’s Pass and the one through which the National Road passes today to be supported with a brigade of infantry and a battery as soon as they can get up. My advices of last night inform me that the rebels do not hold them. Gen. Stahl should be at Youngs Ford early this morning. The movements must be rapid, the troops to move in the direction of South Mountain Pass.

Maj. Gen. Hooker

Order to take command

of 3d & 11th Corps in addition

to 1st Corps, June 25th 1863
