Col. T. M. HARRIS,
Beverly:

CUMBERLAND,

June 7, 1864.

Your letter received. Hunter and Crook are expected to form a junction at Staunton to-day. I am not advised whether Crook left a force to hold Lewisburg or not. Will advise you as soon as I ascertain. Capt. Hart, with a detachment of the Ringgold Cavalry, had a fight with McNeill and Harness yesterday near Moorefield. Had 4 men killed and 6 wounded. Drove the enemy t the mountains. Am much pleased with your policy. Keep your command active, and the enemy will give you a wide berth.

B. F. KELLEY,
Brig.-Gen.
