Asks Kimball to get "your train in motion as early as possible." Written four days before the nearby battle of McDowell, the first major encounter in Stonewall Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign. The lack of Union troops at Harrisonburg would prove to be of great importance towards the end of this campaign. Most of the docket is lost.
