Chambersburg
Chambersburg, September 10, 1863.
Col. J. C. KELTON, Assistant Adjutant General, Army Headquarters :
I respectfully state, for the information of the General-in-Chief, that the enemy are apparently making preparations for a movement of some kind into Pennsylvania. Their spies have been through this county within a few days. My impression is that a raid is intended.
The General-in-Chief is aware that my force is small, one company of infantry, one battery, and three companies of horse in this county; two of cavalry and one of infantry at Gettysburg and vicinity.
very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Do Nz. COUCH;
Major-General.
