| I. Brig. Gen. William H. C. Whiting,
with two brigades of Smith's division, to be selected by himself,
will, as soon as practicable, report to General T. J. Jackson,
commanding Army of the Valley. The troops, with three days' cooked
rations, will march to the {Richmond &} Danville
Railroad station in Richmond, where cars will be in readiness for
their transportation. General Whiting will, in addition, select two
batteries of Smith's division to accompany him if transportation can
be obtained. Should the means of land transportation with General
Jackson be insufficient to meet the wants of this command, such as
may be necessary will proceed hence to Charlottesville, and thence
proceed as directed. This command, being detached for temporary and
special service, will move in the lightest marching order.
