                                                               Tuesday night.

Dear General,

           No courier has come in with mail since last Thursday night, and none gone out since Sunday morning.     By the former I got a note from Woodward written that day at head of Mud Creek and it's answer I sent by the latter.   Aside from the information you specially requested and whic I sent enclosed, my note gave very little news, but now I have more.
