Enemy's advance near New Market. His reported force superior to mine. I am moving down the Valley to- dya. Can hear very little from Virginia and Tennsee Rairoad, but enemy reported moving toward Salem with nine regiments of infantry, one of cavlry, and eitht pieces of artillery. One brigade added to McCausland and W. L. Jackson might stop him. I hope it can be sent from Richmond or Petersburg. I sent copy of this to General Lee.
