Gen. S. COOPER,
Adjutant-Gen.

BRISTOL,

July 31, 1861.

Your dispatch received. I leave for Staunton to-day. By my proper command I suppose you mean the first three regiments now at Staunton. Am I right? There are two regiments at Lynchburg and three here and one more expected here from West Tennessee. Gen. Zollicoffer is here. You had better give instructions to the troops at Lynchburg and at this place.

S. R. ANDERSON,
Brig.-Gen.
