General Samuel Heintzelman requests the return of two reserve artillery batteries: “Genl. Sumner ordered back the reserve infantry…keeping two of my reserve batteries with him…I have need of them; Genl. Kearny has asked for an additional battery—Jordan’s ford has been selected as the crossing over White Oak swamp and it will be necessary to hold it with artillery & infantry.”
