CUMBERLAND, MD., March 24, 1864.

Lieutenant Colonel C. B. COMSTOCK,

Hdqrs. Army of the Potomac, Culpeper Court-House:

General Crook can be spared at present, but it will take at least five days to reach Culpeper, he being at Charleston. Major Rucker, of his staff, is here; is thoroughly acquainted with that country, and can give you valuable information. If you desire I will send him with some papers prepared by me at once, and will also direct General Crook to report to you, if you deem best.

F. SIGEL,

Major-General.
