General Lee had heard from prisoners that two corps had reinforced Burnside on Sunday evening at Freder- icksburg, and accordingly he wrote to Richmond, " Should the enemy cross at Port Royal in force before I can get this army in position to meet him, I think it more advantageous to retire to the Annas and give battle . . . my design was to have done so in the first instance, and my purpose was changed, not from any advantage in this position, but from an unwillingness to open more of our coun...try to depredation, and also with a view of collecting such forage and provisions as could be obtained in the Rappahannock Valley . . .
the crossing can be made at almost any point without ~ molestation ; it will therefore be more advantageous to us to draw him further away from his base of opera- tions." 236 FREDERICKSBURG On December 18 Jackson camped in the woods near Moss Neck, about twelve miles south of Fredericks- burg, but Federal scouts caused Burnside to believe that "Stonewall" was at this time moving on Brentsville north of the Rapidan, in support of a division which was covered by Hampton's Cavalry, In fact, Lee had sent another brigade of cavalry up the Rappahannock, and on December 17 Hampton re- peated his exploit of the week before, crossing the river with 465 horsemen and proceeding to the Oc- coquan, surprising one after the other the Federal pickets between that place and Dumfries.
