UNIT ASSOCIATION: 9th VA Cavalry -Information provided by the courtesy of the National Park Service Description An account of the resource Near Fredg, Aug 19th, 1863 Mr. Slaughter, Esq Dear Sir I am truly sorry it was out of my powers to see General Lee about the matter we were speaking of. This is to get him to have myself and Alexander Pratt detailed to scout for him over in the counties of Stafford and King George in order to find out what the enemy are doing, and also their numbers, and if he thinks proper and will send an officer and some men I will [show] him him a good deal can be accomplished. I would also mention that there are a great many conscripts and deserters that ought to be taken up. Many of whom I believe communicate with the enemy besides stealing horses from the citizens. Some of the 15th Va cavalry visited Stafford & King George for that purpose, but did nothing. I will be under many obligations if you will see the General, and ask him If he wants our services. If so he can have us detailed we belong to Company K 9th Va. Cavalry W.H.F. Lee's Brigade. You know us both sufficiently to recommend us to the general beside we will furnish him with any recommendation he may want. I shall leave for the army in morning. And If he has us detailed we will report to him immediately. Yours in Haste James H. Ball -Transcript provided by the courtesy of the National Park Service.
