I shall retire along the Tauber with the cavalry and make for Hesse, do you march with all speed for that river.

If as you approach the river you hear that we have already passed, do you direct your march to Hesse.

I leave the choice of route to you, and you must be guided by circumstances.

At any rate you are unlikely to be attacked except by cavalry, and these, if not in too great numbers, you may be trusted to beat off.
Ten minutes after the receipt of this order the regiment was on the march.

They arrived on the Tauber just in time, for a quarter of an hour after they had piled arms, after a tremendous march, the cavalry came along.
