Does your knowledge of rebel
movements enable you to suggest the better
points on the R. R. to concentrate? I have
at Point of Rocks & Frederick 3400 men
at Harpers Ferry 6300, at Winchester 6900,
at Martinsburg 3000, at Romney 2300,
at New Creek 2400. Troops at Winchester
can fall back now to Harpers Ferry in
face of enemy to Martinsburg. Force
at Romney can fall back to Green Spring.
