I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

HDQRS. THIRD DIV., FOURTEENTH ARMY CORPS, Barnwell, February 10, 1865.

Lieutenant Colonel A. C. McCLURG,
Assistant Adjutant-General, &c.:

COLONEL: Please say to the general commanding that I have two brigades beyond Turkey Creek, about half a mile from this town, and one this side of the creek. I have also Colonel Bishon and his regiment in town keeping order and guarding the families that remain. All is very quiet and orderly. The rascally proceeding of some stragglers in opening the dam above our crossing caused my last brigade to wade over in quite deep water, but I think it will run down during the night. I think my road to Williston should be the one beyond Turkey Creek. The roads on both sides of the creek are good; distance to Williston, thirteen miles. I am out of rations to-night, and would like to have a few wagons with bread and coffee come forward to join me during the day to-morrow, if I march before the whole train arrives. I will be on hand to receive your orders in the morning.

Most respectfully, your obedient servant,

A. BAIRD,

Brevet Major-General, Commanding Division.
