HDQRS. GREENE'S BRIGADE, MARMADUKE'S DIVISION,
TRANS- MISSISSIPPI ARMY,
Camp Marmaduke, April 14, 1863.
Major HENRY EWING, Assistant Adjutant- General:
MAJOR: I neglected to report yesterday that Captain [James] Surridge, in command of scout on Current, was informed that the Federal detachment lately at Doniphan had intelligence of your advance, and believed your force to be 7,000 cavalry. They immediately decamped on getting the information. They are now sending a small party to discover the truth of the report received. Captain Reves will give you late information from Ironton, &c.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
COLTON GREENE,
