 Sir, 

 
           The Secretary of War directs me 
to acknowledge the receipt of your 
communication of the 14th Instant in 
which you request permission to 
publish your official report of the 
evacuation of Winchester, and to in- 
form you that the General in Chief 
reports that its publication at this 
time would be inexpedient. 


 
                             Very Respectfully 

                               Your obedient servant,
 
                                      (Ed. R.S. Camby) 

                                Brigadier Gen’l A.A.G.
