To Milroy From Schenck June 12 1863 Copied Telegram

              Copy of Telegram 
Headquarters, Middle Department, 8th Army Corps. 
Baltimore, Md.	June 12th, 1863 
Major Genl. R. H. Milroy 
	Winchester, VA, 
     Lt. Col. Piatt as I learn by copy of  
dispatch sent me, which he forwarded to  
you from Harpers Ferry, misunderstood me  
and somewhat exceeded his instructions.  You  
will make all the required preparations for  
withdrawing.  But hold your position in the mean  
time.  Be ready for movement but await fur- 
ther orders.  I doubt the propriety of calling in Mc- 
Renyolds brigade at once.  If you should fall back  
to Harpers Ferry, he will be in part on the way  
and covering your flank.  But use your discretion  
as to any order to him.  Below I give you a copy  
of the telegram of the General in Chief.  Nothing  
heard since.  Give me constant information. 
	Sd. R. C. Schenck 
	Maj. Genl. Comdg.
