The track is taken up to within a quarter of a mile of this place. There are 370 men here belonging to the Sixth Indiana Cavalry and Sixty-eighth Indiana Infantry. Shall I burn the railroad bridge at this place?

In the morning you can move your command half way from Tilton to Dalton, leaving the men belonging to the Sixth Indiana Cavalry and the Sixty-eighth Indiana Infantry with the working party. Keep a good lookout in the direction of La Fayette. You will not burn the bridge.
