General B. Bragg
Richmond, Va.
 
   The cavalry scouts have just returned from Bottom's Bridge, and report that the enemy has destroyed that bridge and also fired {Richmond &} York River Railroad bridge across the Chickahominy. He then left in the direction of Crump's Cross-Roads. The scout thinks the enemy have gone to Tunstall's Station {on the same road}, designing to rejoin Grant by passing through Hanover County. The railroad communicating with General Lee might also be injured by them on their return. I shall be able to inform you in the morning definitely the route taken by the enemy.
J. W. Atkinson
Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding
