HEADQUARTERS, July 23, 1861

Richmond, Va., July 23, 1861.

Maj. M. G. HARMAN, Staunton, Va.:

General Jackson desires troops to be sent by Millborough, to re-enforce Elk Mountain. The first regiment that arrives must take that route, unless General Loring orders otherwise. Send Captain Marye by Millborough, and comply with orders from the commanding general without reference here. Unless cavalry is called for, Major Lee’s squadron will — await orders.
