GENERAL: Your letter has been received through Captain McEntee. I have directed General Kelley to send three regiments of Ohio [militia] to Harper’s Ferry. I do not know whether they will arrive immediately, but hope fee will. Imboden has returned to New Market. He is this side of Mount Jackson. Our advance is at this moment engaged with him. The cows brought in must be sent to Frederick, Baltimore, and Washington for hospital purposes.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
