Instruct Genl. Milroy to use great caution, risk-
ing nothing unnecessary & to be prepared for falling
back in good order if overmatched. I rely on
your having support afforded him as far as
may be practicable. In the mean time go on
with your concentration of force. Keep me
advised of what is needed. What merriment
has been made from Romney?
