From the Collection:
The collection consists of field orders for a strategic withdrawal from Major Robert W. Hunter / AAAG (C.S.A.) at General Edward Johnson's headquarters to Colonel B.T. Johnson of Jones' Brigade. The orders direct Col. Johnson to quietly round up his men and while observing the "strictest silence," wait until 11:00 p.m. to be relieved. The orders continue saying that if no relief comes to "quietly withdraw" to WIlliamsport, Maryland, with no drums beaten or signals sounded.
