Captain DANIEL M. KEYES,

Information has been received at these headquarters that a strong force of guerrillas are near Hillsborough, or near Short Hill, impressing horses. A citizen just came in who lost three horses. Take you whole force, advance cautiously, and ascertain their strength. They are reported to be 100 strong, but report is not credited. If you are not obliged to retreat, ascertain the amount of damage done, and report to these headquarters without delay. Be very cautious in your movements.
