Lee recognized the value of, and at times was directly involved in, covert operations. He reportedly ordered the establishment of a spy network in Washington to supply information about the disposition, size and plans of Union forces. In his correspondence, Lee made reference to scouts operating in Northern areas such as Baltimore and Washington.
Lee preferred to have experienced scouts and spies seek out the enemy's secrets -- "men accustomed to see things as they are, & not liable to excitement or exaggeration." He had found that "reports from citizens however intelligent and honest cannot be relied on" because they frequently contained distorted facts and inflated figures regarding the enemy.
Lee had a battalion-size provost guard with about 200 men assigned to his headquarters. In addition to military police responsibilities, this unit supported intelligence operations. One duty was to interrogate prisoners of war to obtain order of battle (size, organization and leadership of enemy forces) and other useful intelligence.
Lee also had a cavalry unit, the 39th Virginia Cavalry Battalion, assigned to perform scouting duties and serve as couriers linking him and his corps commanders. The battalion's intelligence responsibilities included accompanying engineers on reconnaissance missions and locating roads for the army to move about during combat. One company that served as Lee's "body guard" kept an eye out for suspicious people and spies.
Lee once instructed an officer in his command: "Secrecy, diligence, and constant attention must always be practiced." He elaborated: "Your movements must be secret -- not even disclosed to our own people." These were Lee's watchwords during his long tenure at the head of the Army of Northern Virginia.

“Yesterday there was some clothing issued to the company again, but as mine happened to be tolerably good I could not get any. In order to get any clothing from the government any more, one must lay round in camp most naked for a month or two. We had one fellow that had been wearing nothing but drawers for some time.”

from others seeking information on his service, however, his name does not appear on any company muster rolls which exist up to October 31, 1863, thus, we must conclude that he enlisted sometime after that date, most likely in 1864 because of the Conscription laws
