Telegram From Secretary Stanton To General Fremont. Washington, May 28, 1862. MAJOR-GENERAL JOHN C. FREMONT, Moorefield: The order to remain at Moorefield was based on the supposition that it would find you there. Upon subsequent information that the enemy were still operating in the vicinity of Winchester and Martinsburg, you were directed to move against the enemy. The President now again directs you to move against the enemy without delay. Please acknowledge the receipt of this, and the time received. EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War.
