New Market, Tenn., March 25, 1865.Major-General KIMBALL,
Mossy Creek:
Colonel Kirby left one regiment to-day to protect supplies at Morristown. I wish you to relieve this regiment with another, leaving eight companies at Morristown and two companies at Mossy Creek. Let the eight companies wait in the morning until the artillery comes up as a guard for the artillery train. I will come on and join you at Russellville. You had better draw four days' supplies for your command at Morristown. Until things settle we will have to guard the bridge.
D. S. STANLEY,

Your dispatch received. Everything is now unloaded at Knoxville. Charge all officers to unload promptly. When your troops come I want to carry them to the front by rail; therefore, time will be gained by starting the transportation forward as soon as unloaded. One good regiment will be enough for a train guard. I will have an officer at Knoxville.
