Gen. Haupt, Chambersburg:

Hdqrs. Army of the Potomac,

July 14, 1863.

Our headquarters will be at Berlin, Md., to-morrow night. Gen. Meade desires that you will see that the Orange and Alexandria and Manassas Railroads are in good running order. Couch will probably be left in command of this district. It would be well, I think, to have the Cumberland Valley Railroad repaired. He could draw his supplies from Frederick.

RUFUS INGALLS,
Brig.-Gen.
