Yours has been [?]+ been received – Nothing has been learned of Col Alexanders Command and I have pushed the pickets, or rather the rear guard of the Rebs 6 miles towards Cashtown. I am satisfied that the force that here this morning was the same that I found at Fairfield. I have pushed parties on all the approaches to town – Have heard nothing more than what I have already sent – I can do nothing more at present, or will be on foot – everything is

I am very respectfully
