Commanding Right Wing:
GENERAL: The troops were much delayed by the balking of the trains last night. After midnight I halted the head of the column near Red House Bridge. Cleburne is now taking up his position on the creek. Breckinridge is resting near Red House Ridge. I am in person on the road from the bridge to the station. There are thousands of stragglers on the roadside.

HEADQUARTERS HILL'S CORPS, September 22, 1863-12.30.
[General POLK:]
I thin everything is satisfactory with regard to the rations for the wounded, but we have no means of removing them.
Previous to getting your order to send the wagon trains to the forks of the Chickamauga, I had ordered the rations and cooking utensils to Red House Ford, but had given no orders with reference to the baggage-wagons.
My quartermaster has just arrived with the whole wagon train of the corps at Red House Ford, in pursuance of orders communicated direct from General Bragg to place the trains behind their divisions
