Headquarters of the Army,
Washington, July 21,1861.
Brigadier-General McDowell, Commanding, &c.:
It is known that a strong re-enforcement left Winchester on the afternoon of the 18th, which you will also have to beat. Four new regiments will leave to-day to be at Fairfax Station to-night. Others shall follow to-morrow: twice the number, if necessary.
WINFIELD SCOTT.
