But I have issued 517 short Enfield and Austrian rifles in all to my Tennessee troops, and accouterments. This is an approximate report. Captain C. C. Clay, my ordnance officer, has a pretty good supply of ordnance stores on hand at Egypt. I have ordered him to bring them to Okolona. I have ordered him to report to you the quantity of arms, &c., issued by him and in store.
Yours, &c.,
R. V. RICHARDSON,
Colonel, Commanding Northeast Mississippi.

I am close in under the enemy's works, but cannot bring him to battle as he has the other side of the river for foraging. I think that my force is hardly strong enough to warrant my taking his works by assault.

Can't you spare me another division? It will shorten the work here very much.
