October 19, 1862—9.50 p. in.

Brig. Gen. HENRY HETH,
Commanding, &c.:

GENERAL:
General Smith directs me to say that for the present his headquarters will be at this point. General McCown encamps to-night at Laurel Hill, a little beyond Barboursville. General Bragg has directed him to fall back through that place. General Wheeler covers his rear. Colonel Wharton covers your rear on the old State road. You will direct him to report through you. He should obstruct the road as you fall back. General Stevenson encamped at Bush’s Store to-night. General Buford and Colonel Ashby cover his rear.

Your obedient servant,

E. CUNNINGHAM,
Lieutenant and Acting Aide-de-Camp.
