Col. T. T. MUNFORD,
Cmdg. Cavalry, Valley District:

NEAR WEYER'S CAVE,

June 17, 1862.

COL.:

I congratulate you upon the success of yesterday. Send the prisoners to Staunton, and also the captured property, if you can spare it. If you have need of it, let it be accounted for to Maj. J. A. Harman by your quartermaster as captured property, and as such taken up on his return.

If you can meet me in Staunton by 5 o'clock to-morrow morning I hope you will do so, as I desire to have a personal interview with you. Instead of sending your dispatches to Gen. Winder please continue to send them directed to me.

Your most obedient servant,

T. J. JACKSON,
Maj.-Gen.
