Dear Sir
I am requested by Jno. Henks to inform you that the enemy [torn] their encampment and removed to some other point, whose locality we have not been able to ascertain, leaving a small guard and (iL is believed) but one piece of artillery. We shall remain here until relieved by a pickeL from CapL. Bird, on directions from you. Have the goodness to say to Gov. Robinson Judge H. requests he will not leave your camp until our arrival there.
I am with respect sir Yours &c. Chas. D. Ferris
