Gen. J. C. BRECKINRIDGE:

NEW MARKET,

May 19, 1864.
(Received Staunton, 11.40 p. m.)

GEN.:

The enemy is feeling his way up above Woodstock, with detachments of infantry, artillery, and cavalry to-day. I fear I shall soon have urgent need for all my men. If, therefore, it is possible to return me the Sixty-second Virginia, I earnestly request you do so. That regiment is small now, and will be of little value to you, but inestimable to me as a nucleus to form the reserves upon.

J. D. IMBODEN,
Brig.-Gen.
