Barr's company of cavalry and a company of infantry from your command, with instructions to move on the reported camp of the enemy — to arrive at daylight, and to act in concert with the force moving from this point.-- Take every precaution to prevent accident, and have your detail move promptly, so as to operate with the other. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Henry I. Johnson, A. A. A. G. Major E. W. Stephens, Jr., Commanding forces, Moorefield, Va. Numbering 125 or 150.
