jackets, or all blouses, that there may be a uniformity, and each division will draw all hats, or all caps, as the division commanders shall determine. The trains are to be organized at Nashville. I will see General Thomas' adjutant-general, and request that Surg. A. I. Comfort be ordered to you for duty.

I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

On Lawrenceburg and Pulaski Road,

Three and a half Miles from Lawrenceburg, November 22, 1864-11 p.m.

Major General J. M. SCHOFIELD,

Pulaski, Tenn.:

There is no question about the advance of General Hood's army being in Lawrenceburg to-night; infantry with some cavalry. I shall pass within ten miles of Pulaski on my way to Campbellsville, and any orders you may have would reach me there. I shall reach that point about daylight. I still think their cavalry have struck for the railroad.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

EDWARD HATCH,

Brigadier-General.

Colonel CAPRON, or

Commanding OFFICER BRIGADE CAV. ON MOUNT PLEASANT ROAD:

I learn you have fallen back from Waynesborough on the road to Mount Pleasant; if so, hold on where you are until pressed back. Scout well your right flank; endeavor to learn if the enemy are moving round your right toward Nashville. I will keep your left well scouted. If pressed on the right, fall back on me, moving by your left.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

EDWARD HATCH,

Brigadier-General.
