Throckmorton's Mill still farther to the left. Will camp near Newburg. Find from information that the best way to Jasper is via Newburg and Mount Hope, running down the left bank of the Sipsey. Will take best road to Jasper, and thence to the point mentioned beyond Black Warrior. Please send instructions. Moving splendidly.

Very respectfully,

Brevet Major-General UPTON,

Commanding Fourth Division, Cavalry Corps:

GENERAL: General Wilson directs that you push on by the road indicated in your note. Corps headquarters will be at Thorn Hill to-morrow evening, probably. Please send word to-night with regard to the road to Jasper from Mount Hope as nearly as you can the direction it takes; also whether you can find a road down to Warriortown and Democrat. In case you should not hear of me again push on to some point on the line of march beyond Jasper, where you can subsist your command and wait for the balance of the command. I shall probably travel by Thorn Hill on the most direct road to Jasper, and shall travel as fast as possible.

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

E. B. BEAUMONT,

Major and Assistant Adjutant-General.
