HDQRS.,

Lieut. Col. O. D. GREENE,
Assistant Adjutant-Gen., Sixth Army Corps:

Williamsport,

October 11, 1862.

SIR:

I have the honor to inform you that I hear from good sources that the enemy, after burning considerable public and other property in Chambersburg, Pa., have gone in the direction of Waynesborough. In that case it is probable that they may seek to cross the river through Boonsborough, as Waynesborough is but nine miles from there.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JOHN R. KENLY,
Brig.-Gen., Cmdg. at Williamsport.
