Col. E. D. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant-Gen.:

CHAMBERSBURG, PA.,

September 17, 1864.

During the fall I want to visit Massachusetts for seven days and judge this will be the best time for me to leave. Matters will be quiet for next twelve days, as far as draft is concerned, and I do not now believe there will be any serious opposition to it.

D. N. COUCH,
Maj.-Gen.
