Major General D. S. STANLEY,

Commanding Fourth Army Corps, Huntsville, Ala.:

Prepare one of your divisions and start it for Bull's Gap as soon as you can get railroad transportation, sending the division wagons and ambulances by road, with no loas except forage and rations for mules and guard. Your other divisions will follow in the same manner. Perhaps we can send new troops to Granger. A depot will be established at Knoxville for the accommodation of the troops in East Tennessee.
