You must be mistaken about any large part of Mosby being in your front, as the information we have places him in Loudoun quite lately. There is a rumor that he crossed to this side yesterday. Please let us know where your information locates him. A scouting party from Woodstock to-day reports Rosser is at Gordonsville.
