HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Crawfish Spring, September 18, 1863-12.15 a. m.
Major-General McCooK :
The general commanding directs me to acknowledge the receipt of
your 8 p. m. dispatch, and to say so soon as General Thomas' com-
mand is out of the way you will close up to this place.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
FRANK S. BOND,
Major, and Aide-de-Camp.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Crawfish Spring, September 19, 1863-9.50 a. m.
Maj. Gen. GEORGE H. THOMAS:
Your note of 9.30 is received. The general commanding does not
think you should commit yourself to any considerable movement
before we hear from our extreme left. The rumor that the enemy is
between Alexander's and Reed's bridges can hardly be true. McCook
was at the former place last night, and Colonel Grose's brigade started
in that direction nearly two hours ago. The general commanding
directs you to reconnoiter thoroughly before moving out in force.
Meantime get a good position.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. A. GARFIELD,
Brigadier-General, Chief of Staff.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Widow Glenn's, September 19, 1863--1.25 p. m.
Maj. Gen. GEORGE H. THOMAS:
Davis' division and two brigades of Van Cleve's division have been
sent to you. Spare your reserves as much as possible for the decisive
movement. A considerable force of rebel cavalry have got into
Chattanooga Valley, in our rear. Two brigades of Minty's have
been sent after them. How are you progressing ?
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. A. GARFIELD,
Brigadier-General, Chief of Staff.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Widow Glenn's, September 19, 1863-1.45 p. m.
Colonel WILDER,
Comma.tding Mounted Brigade:
The general commanding directs you to put your command in
position in the right flank of the fighting line, so as to observe the
movements of the enemy in that direction and also cover the left
flank.
.Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. A. GARFIELD.CHAP. XLII.3
