HDQRS. DEPARTMENT AND ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE, Near Poplar Spring, S. C., February 11, 1865.

Major General JOHN A. LOGAN,
Commanding Fifteenth Army Corps:

GENERAL: Your note is received. In reply the general desires me to say that you may use your own judgment in regard to the disposition of your trains, but thinks that it will probably be better to leave them on this side until the passage of Caw Caw Swamp is effected, except such portion of your ammunition train as you think might be needed. The pontoon train is probably on the way up, but may stop with the main portion of the train which followed General Corse over from Holman's Bridge to Poplar Spring. The general desires you to send back and find it, and unless it is already on the road to order such portion of it as you require to join you as soon as you may need it.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

A.m. VAN DYKE,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
