In my dispatch of 1.15 this morning, to which yours of 3.30 a. m. is a reply, I say, "It is hoped that the head of your column may reach Beech Grove to-morrow night." It should have read "to-night." You are right in your understanding of the intention. The general commanding is anxious to learn what the enemy is about this morning. Has he gone?
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. A. GARFIELD,
Brigadier-General and Chief of Staff.

General Reynolds is advancing on Matt's Hollow. General Crittenden is moving on Manchester, via Lumley's Stand. The general commanding directs you to hold Liberty Gap to-day and night with one division. Send all your remanding forces and trains across to this place. Do not invite a fight, but defend your position. All goes well. Report often. You will probably receive orders to hurry up your remaining division early in the morning.
