[1] ALS, RPB. This telegram is misdated July 13, 1863, in Hertz, II, 901. Schenck replied, ``I am doing all I can to get Milroy back toward Harper's Ferry on the railroad. He sent down a courier in the night to say that, if he could not fall back, he could sustain himself, and hold his position five days, but I have no force to support him. The rebels appear to have pushed on beyond him rapidly and impetuously, and are reported approaching Martinsburg.'' (OR, I, XXVII, II, 174).
