I have sent 1,500 of the best men, under the best officers, from General Cruft's camp to aid General Ammen, all from the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Corps. I have 1,000 of the Seventeenth Corps at Dalton, under command of Colonel Culver. I have 600 of the Twentieth Corps, effective armed, which I intended to send to Bridgeport, under command of Colonel Mitchell, but am holding them to send to General Ammen, should he need them. I have 230 more armed who are only fit for light camp duty. I have about 200 convalescents of the Fourth and Twenty-third Corps; what shall I do with them?
