Letter
Max Weber to R. S. RopcErs, May 4, 1864
HEADQUARTERS,
Harper’s Ferry, May 4, 1864.
Col. R. S. RopcErs, Commanding at Martinsburg:
About 100 armed dismounted men are on their way by railroad to re-enforce you. You need not allow the current rumors about the enemy to disturb you, for General Sigel must be aware of the entire situation, and they are probably only stragglers who are doing the mischief of which you speak, not any real force.
By order of Brig. Gen. Max Weber :
SAML. F. WOODS,
Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.
Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.
