Lieutenant J. J. Wagoner, brigade quartermaster, managed the brigade train with much care, arriving safely at Chattanooga without accident.

My brigade commissary of subsistence, Lieutenant S. S. Culbertson, Nineteenth Infantry, by his activity succeeded in meeting me early in the morning at Rossville with a train of provisions, and not only supplied my brigade with rations but also General Sheridan's division and Battery I, Fourth Artillery, General Brannan's division, both of whom were entirely out.

I have the honor to be, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JOHN H. KING,

Brigadier-General.

Brigadier General A. BAIRD.
