General STEELE,

Commanding Forces from Pensacola:

Our camp to-night is at Deer Park, about sixty miles below Blakely. We move up to-morrow six or eight miles, and will open communication with the navy and establish a new base of supplies. If you are delayed by the condition of the roads so that your supplies are exhausted before the cavalry operations are completed, make a junction with this army in the neighborhood of Blakely, coming in southeast. Keep me advised of your movements by courier.
