COL.:

Your letter of the 29th, inclosing the telegram from Gen. Cooper of the 28th, I have just received. A letter from the Secretary of War, dated 24th instant, with regard to a movement of the troops of this army, was received by Gen. Loring two days since, and he left here on yesterday for Staunton on business connected therewith. I respectfully suggest that you wait at Ryan's further orders from him. The information forwarded to you will be dispatched to him.

I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,
