Summary:
Confederate Colonel George Crittenden writes to General John C. Breckinridge in June, 1864, concerning the movement of troops to Staunton.


Maj. Gen. J. C. BRECKINRIDGE:

GLADE SPRING,

June 9, 1864.

Your telegram received and has been forwarded to Col. Witcher, who is picketing toward Pound Gap, with instructions to forward it to Gen. Morgan at once. I do not think his command can be made available toward Staunton, as he passed through Pound Gap six or seven days since, intending to move to the interior of Kentucky.

G. B. CRITTENDEN,
Col., Cmdg.
