Maj. JOHN S. SCHULTZE,
Assistant Adjutant-Gen.
HAGERSTOWN,
July 10, 1864.
I have just sent a scout to Gen. Hunter requesting what you desired, and on receipt of your communication I sent an intelligent and reliable man of my own company to go also and carry your communication. Lieut. Torrence, whom I reported captured was not, but while gallantly endeavoring to cut his way out his horse was shot and he wounded in three places, but he made his escape. I send him to Greencastle this morning to go on to Chambersburg.
H. T. MCLEAN,
First Lieut., &c.
