Copy of a telegram to Brigadier General Eliakim P. Scammon possibly in his hand. Marked cypher. Colonel White states that the Confederate cavalry came within sight last night. Says that he sent his cavalry force to the front and ordered them to attack at 2 AM. They are keeping a lookout. Year inferred from similar documents in the collection and from Scammon's rank as General.
