ORs: Report by General Wheeler, April 20, 1865

Headquarters Cavalry Corps,
Greensborough and Salisbury Road,
April 20, 1865.

General J. E. Johnston, Commanding, &c. :

General:
I have succeeded in getting most of the men back to their commands, except those from Eight Texas. There are only seventy-eight of that regiment now in camp. I have parties now out after those still absent, and hope to secure the return of most of them. Forage is scarce in this vicinity, and it will be necessary to change the location of camp frequently for that reason. The command can be moved in any direction which it may be ordered. There are a few men from nearly every regiment still absent.

Respectfully, general, your obedient servant,
Joseph Wheeler, Major-General.
