GENERAL: I am here all safe. Found no rebels except a few stragglers, whom I picked up. General Hood took the Broomtown Valley road and Cheatham and Cleburne and Gaylesville road, all moving toward Gaylesville. They were moving from before daylight till midday yesterday. None of them went up Henderson's Gap. As soon as I feed I will move on and try to communicate with General Garrard.

Respectfully,

LOUIS D. WATKINS,

Colonel, Commanding Brigade.
