of the Thirty-seventh Battalion, has ordered it to Gayton, and states that it is detached from my command. Colonel Dunn is under grave charges, and I have ordered him to Staunton for trial. You know the character of this officer and the object he has in view. I wish you would write to General Lee on the subject, if you think proper, and protest against this order. I have ordered the Thirty-seventh to Alleghany City. Rosser states that Jackson's brigade has been ordered to report to him to form a part of his division. This is my best brigade, and I hope if I am to lose a portion of my command that I be allowed to select the brigade. I inclose letters from Jackson and Claiborne.* Please communicate with me at Hanover Junction, that I amy take steps to protect myself. If my command is to be broken up without consulting me, I had better leave it. As soon as I can I will see General Lee on the subject. I feel confident that it is not your wish to deprive me of my command. I do not believe it will be for the interests of the service to take Jackson's brigade and the Thirty-seventh from my division.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
L. L. LOMAX,
Major-General.
