To Lt. Col. Donn Piatt
Martinsburg, VA
The following just received from
Washington
“Harpers Ferry is the im-
portant place. Winchester is of
no importance other than as a
lookout. The Winchester troops
except enough to serve as an
outpost should also be withdrawn
to Harpers Ferry. The troops at
Martinsburg should also be ready
to fall back to Harpers Ferry
No large amount of supplies should
be left in any exposed position.

Genl.-in-Chief
