Maj. Gen. SAMUEL JONES,
Zollicoffer:

Dublin,

September 25, 1863.

Col. Ferguson reports all orders being executed as directed in your telegram of 18th excepting in regard to the regiment to go to Little Levels. Does not mention that my telegram must have been incorrectly received at Staunton. Ferguson remain at Crab Bottom Highland, with the Fourteenth Virginia Cavalry and Sweeney's battalion. Shall I repeat the order as to Little Levels? If so, do what with Sweeney?

CHAS. S. STRINGFELLOW,
Assistant Adjutant-Gen.
