Gen. T. J. JACKSON, Winchester, Va.:

RICHMOND,

November 6, 1861.

I have ordered your old brigade to be sent to you at once from Centreville and McLaughlin's company of Rockbridge artillery, and had already ordered a further force of about 6,000 men to be detached from Loring's command and to join you, by way of Staunton, before receiving your letter brought by Col. Preston. Will send you full instructions by mail.

J. P. BENJAMIN,
Acting Secretary of War.
