If Mosby is found to be where he can be reached the general desires him to be attacked. The commander will, of course, understand the need of great caution while on the march. Unless Cedar Creek is not fordable the general would like to have the command go down as far as Edenburg. They should be supplied with two days' rations for the men and two days' forage.
