Gen. B. BRAGG,
Richmond:

LYNCHBURG, VA.,

June 8, 1864

Just arrived here, cars running off track twice. Find here a four gun battery of Vaughn's command, fully equipped. Will push it on to Charlottesville as fast as possible. Just heard there are only 150 Yankees in Greenbrier, and Averell at Warm Springs on the 5th. This means he was going to Staunton. I telegraphed Vaughn of the re-enforcements, and urged him to hold fast in the best positions, if the enemy advances. I venture to suggest that Morgan be ordered to the Valley.

JNO. C. BRECKINRIDGE,
Maj.-Gen.
