Lead up to Gettysburg. "They have taken an immense number of horses out of this country...all the help engaged scadaddled. If they occupy this county a week longer it will be ruined as much as if a famine and blight had passed over it...it is no reported that the handful of men N.G. sent us are to be, or have been, ordered back to protect Harrisburg or Baltimore...There is every indication of an advance on Chambersburg. The troops we have here are now all brought in and are on the North side of town for a move further north."
