Lieut.-Gen. EARLY,
Valley Army:

WITHERVILLE,

October 21, 1864.
(Via Charlottesville.)

Have received no answer to my dispatch of the 15th. Cosby's and Giltner's brigades are three days' march on way to join you. To-morrow I will start by rail a battery (Douthat's), but without horses, to report from Staunton, unless ordered by you to some other point. I have no horses for the battery.

JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE,
Maj.-Gen.
