Marked cipher at top and copied on verso. Writes to Major General Sheridan at Winchester, Virginia about General William T. Sherman's movements. "General Sherman's movements will depend on the amount of opposition he meets from the enemy." Feels much of the danger has passed. Informs that Sherman is aiming to join with General John Schofield around Goldsboro. Instructs Sheridan on how he may be able to find Sherman, either "moving from Goldsboro towards Raleigh or engaging the enemy strongly posted at one or the other of their places with railroad communications opened from his Army to Wilmington or New Bern."
