DEAR GENERAL: Our operator sends me the following:

The operator at Greensborough says General Lomax, with Lee's cavalry, has arrived at Danville and says Lee, far capitulating, is now resting on Appomattox and Staunton Rivers, collecting his army and supplies. Raiders have cut communication between Danville and General Lee; therefore nothing received from him.
