Dated at Greencastle, Sept. 15, 1862

To Col. Jno. A. Wright, A.D.C.

I would like to have eight (8) more cars here immediately to take our infantry to Hagerstown. They can aid our cavalry at Funkstown and cut off wagons & stragglers on the road thence to Sharpsburgh & Williamsport. The enemy are perfectly demoralized. Please send the cars immediately. I have sent telegraphic operator to Hagerstown—the rest of our infantry should come on immediately to Hagerstown.
