The wagons came in just as your note war received notifying me that the pickets were driven in and the enemy at Morrow's Mills. If they come too close to me I will endeavor to give them a warm reception. If nothing occurs to prevent I will move nothing to the position spoken of yesterday afternoon.

Yours, truly,
