Major General H. W. HALLECK,
General-in-Chief:
Dispatch of the 14th received. The railroad is in good order to Bear Creek. Railroad badly broken beyond Bear Creek. I will push my head of column rapidly to Tuscumbia and Florence, and repair road as fast as possible. Stage of water at Eastport seems good for navigation of light boats. A small, light steam ferry-boat up at Eastport would be most valuable. General Grant, who has gone above, will notify General Rosecrans of my exact position and force, and I will report from Athens as soon as possible, bearing in mind your order as to supplies.
