1. Bouquet left Loyalhanna between 25 and 28 Sept. to meet with Forbes at Raystown. He may have begun his return to Loyalhanna as scheduled on 5 October. Forbes’s letter to Bouquet on 10 Oct. confirms that he was gone by that date.
2. For an earlier version of this order, which was canceled, see Orderly Book, 29 September. It would seem the marching orders were for Friday 13 Oct., not Friday 6 October. See Orderly Book, 11 October.
