ADJUTANT-GEN. U. S. ARMY:

CHAMBERSBURG, PA.,

July 3, 1864

Telegraphic communication is cut off with Sigel. Artillery is hard at Greencastle and Hagerstown; it is probably at Martinsburg. Sigel notified me that a movement in force was probable. During the night I hope to have one company of cavalry and two of infantry at this point.

D. N. COUCH,
Maj.-Gen., Cmdg.
