Assistant Adjutant General James H. Steger to Col. James H. Ford

WARRENSBURG, May 3, 1864--7.50 p.m.

 Col. JAMES H. FORD,
Independence:

I have information of the two bands of guerrillas, about 130, on Horse Creek, Cedar County, making their way north. They will probably follow Quantrill's trail. Make such disposition of your force as will most likely intercept them before reaching the Sni Hills.

 JAMES H. STEGER,

 Assistant Adjutant-General.
