CHAP. XLII.] THE CHICKAMAUGA CAMPAIGN. 71
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
In the Field, September 20, 1863-10.45 a. m.
Major-General CRITTENDEN,
Commanding Twenty-first Army Corps:
The general commanding directs you to send General Van Cleve's
command to General Thomas' support with all dispatch. General
Van Cleve will put his force in on General Thomas' left as quickly
as he can do so without exhausting the men too much.
J. A. G[ARFIELD].
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Chattanooga, September 20, 1863.
Brigadier-General GARFIELD,
Chief of Staff, Rossville:
Your dispatch of 3.45 received. What you propose is correct. I
have seen Farch, who left at 5 p. m. I trust General Thomas has
been able to hold his position. Ammunition will be sent up.
W. S. R[OSECRANS].
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Chattanooga, September 20, 1863.
Colonel WILDER,
Commanding Brigade :
The general commanding directs that you order one of your regi-
ments to report to Brigadier-General Wagner, commanding this
post, to conduct prisoners.
Very respectfully,
J. P. DROUILLARD,
Captain, and Aide-de-Camp.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Chattanooga, Tenn., September 20, 1863-7.15 p. m.
Brigadier-General MITCHELL,
Commanding Cavalry :
You must watch the movements of Wheeler, lest he goes over the.
mountains and seize our bridges. If you can spare a cavalry force,
pitch into the enemy's left flank. Crook ought to be sufficient to
watch Wheeler. I leave to your good judgment what should be
done. You will be able to accomplish these two. Hang on the
flank of the enemy's infantry, reporting his movements. Let me
hear from you often. Had you been on our right to-day you could
have charged the enemy's flank and done much incalculable mischief.
W. S. R[OSECRANS],
Major- General.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Chattanooga, September 21, 1863.
General R. B. MITCHELL:
The general commanding directs you to move your command,
except one brigade, back immediately and without the least noise
