The major-general commanding directs me to say that he desires to see you at these headquarters to-morrow (Sunday) morning at 10 o'clock.

ROBT. H. RAMSEY,

HEADQUARTERS FOURTH ARMY CORPS, December 10, 1864.

Brigadier-General WHIPPLE:

Picket officers report no changes in my front this morning. But very little firing on the picket-line, probably on account of the inclemency of the weather.

TH. J. WOOD,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.

HEADQUARTERS FOURTH CORPS, December 10, 1864.

Major-General THOMAS,

Commanding:

Nothing new to report this morning. Can as yet detect no change in the appearance of the enemy's lines or camps. Will watch closely and report promptly everything of interest. Sent in report for this morning more than two hours ago.

TH. J. WOOD,

Brigadier-General of Volunteers, Commanding.

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND, December 10, 1864.

Brigadier General THOMAS J. WOOD,
Commanding Fourth Army Corps:

What is the condition of the ground between the enemy's line and your own? Is it practicable for men to move about on it with facility? I would like your opinion about it.

GEO. H. THOMAS,

Major-General, U. S. Volunteers, Commanding.

HEADQUARTERS FOURTH ARMY CORPS,
Near Nashville, December 10, 1864-3 p.m.

Major General GEORGE H. THOMAS,

Commanding:

The ground between the enemy's lines and my own is covered with a heavy sleet, which would make the handling of troops very difficult, if not impracticable. I am confident troops cannot move with facility.
