General Braxton Bragg
Richmond
 
   According to orders from General Beauregard, I report that I, with six brigades, have formed a junction with General Ransom on the road leading from Petersburg to Richmond. The enemy have retreated upon Bermuda Hundred, either with the intention of leaving or crossing the James River. They have shown very little disposition to fight. The railroad to Petersburg {Richmond & Petersburg RR} is clear and can be easily repaired.
R. F. Hoke
Major-General
