A large ordnance train has arrived. What shall be done with it? What train is the Eighty-ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry to escort? The Thirteenth Wisconsin and Twenty-eighth Kentucky will reach Paint Rock Bridge and Larkinsville tomorrow. I ordered Stokes' cavalry to Tracy City. Will order some brigade to Jasper as soon as possible. Do you wish subsistence stores accumulated here? I am laying platforms for store-houses, and require timber for bridges and flooring.
