Warrenton, October 21, 1863.
Lee has retired
across the Rappahannock, after completely destroying the railroad on which I
depend for my supplies. His object is to prevent my advance, and in the
meantime send more troops to Bragg. This was a deep game, and I am free to
admit that in the playing of it he has got the advantage of me.
