I have so far sustained no loss. It has been my object to detain the troops that are occupying Fairfax, by annoying their communications and preventing them from operating in front. Yesterday two divisions left Centreville and went into camp at Fox's Mill. There are three regiments of cavalry at Vienna. I contemplate attacking a cavalry camp at Falls Church to-morrow night.<br /><br />Respectfully, your obedient servant,<br />JNO. S. MOSBY, Major<br /><br />[Endorsement]<br /><br />HDQRS, CAVALRY CORPS, ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, October 26, 1863<br /><br />Respectfully forwarded. <br /><br />Major Mosby and command continue to do splendid service.<br /><br />J.E.B.
