Maj.-Gen. Humphreys,
Chief of Staff, Army of the Potomac:

Chambersburg, Pa.,

July 13, 1863

The part of Gen. Milroy's troops serving with me, infantry and cavalry, were last evening ordered to join the Army of the Potomac, via Greencastle. I trust they will be with you to-morrow. Dana's division, 12,000 strong, including fourteen Napoleons, Pennsylvania militia, I hope will get to Greencastle to-morrow night. If it is your wish for them to march into Hagerstown, I think they can be supplied from this point. My transportation is increasing. The roads south of this point are not in condition to haul any great amount of supplies.

D. N. COUCH,
Maj.-Gen.
