HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF CENTRAL ALABAMA,
Talladega, November 6, 1864.Major General JOSEPH WHEELER,
Commanding Cavalry Corps, Jacksonville, Ala.:
GENERAL: I have to acknowledge the favor of being placed in possession of information as to enemy's movements contained in your note of 3rd instant. It would seem that a large portion of their force was moved back toward Atlanta. They may possibly design moving in the direction of Montgomery by the WEST Point and Montgomery road. As the force at my command in this district is now, all, or nearly all, with the army I would be greatly obliged if you would continue to keep me advised of their movements. In the event of an advance upon this or the WEST Point and Montgomery Railroad, I hope you will intercept the movement with the force at your command. Have you learned anything of the condition of affairs at Atlanta?
Very respectfully, general,
DANL. W. ADAMS,
Brigadier -General.
