Col. W. L. Jackson,
Warm Springs, Bath County, Va.:

Dublin,

June 9, 1863.

Col.:

Gen. Echols' brigade is now at Meadow Bluff. Its advanced position renders it necessary for him to get the earliest information of the enemy's movement. The major-general commanding directs, therefore, that you forward to Gen. Echols any information your scouts bring in that may be useful to him.

Please furnish the same to these headquarters. You are particularly desired to send your scouts in the direction of Huttonsville, and be on the alert for any move that may be made from Northwestern Virginia in the direction of Staunton. Proceed as rapidly as you can with preparations for active service.

Very respectfully, colonel, your obedient servant,

CHAS. S. STRINGFELLOW,
Assistant Adjutant-Gen.
