Troops stationed at Moorefield could not well cooperate with those in the northern part of the Valley, as the President remarks. Let me suggest that, having broken up the dispositions of eneral Jackson informed me that, since the evacuation of Romney by your orders, the United States troops have returned to it; and that the officer commanding at Moorefield reported that the enemy, three thousand strong, were approaching that place. The reduction of our force by the operation of the furlough system, makes it imom General Whiting that the enemy's forces near Evansport have just been considerably increased, both on land and on water. And from General Jackson, that from Moorefield the enemy has a graded road to Strasburg, passing a good deal to the south of Winchester. Most respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. E. Johnston, General.
