CAVALRY HDQRS., NEAR RAPPAHANNOCK STATION, VA.,I also received information from letters and official reports captured in the enemy's camp, as well as from prisoners, that the enemy-had upward of 12,000 cavalry (which was double my own force of cavalry)and twenty-five pieces of artillery. I also learned from contrabands and prisoners that a large force of infantry had been sent for from Culpeper as well as Longstreet's command at Ellis' Ford. And having crippled the enemy by desperate fighting so that he could not follow me, I returned with my command to the north side of the Rappahannock. Gregg's command crossed at Rappahannock Bridge.
