JULIUS WHITE, 
Brigadier-General. 
LOUDON, October 22, 1863. 
General BURNSIDE: 
On the morning of Tuesday, the 20th, I reached Sweet Water about 11 a. m. I met at that point
the advance of General Vaughn's, formerly Forrest's, division of cavalry. He violated my flag and
kept me a prisoner until this morning. 
There is at Sweet Water the division of General Stevenson, numbering about 8,000 infantry, with
artillery. They are exchanged Vicksburg prisoners. Have you a locomotive or train you can send
me? I would like to come up immediately, unless you are coming down here. 
DUNCAN A. PELL, 
Captain, and Aide-de-Camp.
