CHAPTER LI
9/20

Burnside will move on the plank road to the intersection of it with the Orange and Fredericksburg plank road, then follow Sedgwick to his place of destination.
All vehicles should be got out of hearing of the enemy before the troops move, and then move off quietly.
It is more than probable that the enemy concentrate for a heavy attack on Hancock this afternoon.

In case they do we must be prepared to resist them, and follow up any success we may gain, with our whole force.

Such a result would necessarily modify these instructions.
All the hospitals should be moved to-day to Chancellorsville.

Warren's march carried him immediately behind the works where Hancock's command lay on the Brock Road.
