Presumably you're talking about Gettysburg.
He didn't know where the Union troops were because his cavalry corps were trying to reconnoitre the whole way round the enemy, which took them two days, in which interval Lee was out of touch with them.

The proximity of the Union army to Lee on June 28, 1863 was a surprise. General Lee didn't have contact with JEB Stuart during the early part of the invasion of Pennsylvania. Stuart's cavalry usually supplied important information such as the position and strength of the enemy.
