"Stanton has is[s]ued an order forbidding the publishing of Army Movements," thus Vannuys confesses to being uninformed of current army activities. He suspects his son will go to Winchester, and does not believe there will be forward movement on the Potomac. Reports general news of health (SWV's mother is again very sick), crops, and the death of a man named Fisher.
