Aldie

Our own cavalry were concentrated at Warrenton and Catlett's.

On the 17th, Fitz Lee's brigade was sent forward from Piedmont to Aldie, via Middleburg, to anticipate our troops in holding the gap there, it being considered important to occupy the Bull Run range of mountains as a screen for Lee's further operations.

Fitz Lee's brigade was supported by that of Robertson, which was moved to Rectortown, where it was also available as a reserve to W. H. F. Lee's brigade which had gone forward to occupy Thoroughfare Gap.

No opposition was anticipated in the latter place, Pleasanton having moved to Centerville with his main body.

Any door, the right support.

Stuart made his headquarters at Middleburg on the 17th.

Fitz Lee halted near Dover to close up his command, and sent his pickets on to Aldie Gap.

He pushed on, therefore, with Gregg's division until about two-thirty P.M., when he came upon the rebel pickets, who fell back on the main body.
