HEADQUARTERS FOURTH ARMY CORPS,
Lick Creek, East Tenn., March 28, 1865.Major-General WOOD,
New Market:
Move up your division to Rogersville Junction. You best camp will be about one or two miles west of the junction, leaving room for the Second Division to camp close to the depot, as they have no transportation. Leave a company of about twenty-five men at New Market and relieve the two companies of the Thirtieth Indiana at Mossy Creek by about twenty-five men. All these small posts must intrench strongly. This is only a temporary arrangement. If the weather proves inclement there is no emergency which would require that you should march. If you have stores to move up call on Mr. Bornell, transportation agent at Knoxville, for empty cars.
D. S. STANLEY,
Major-General.
The telegraph office will be at this place to-morrow. At present it is at Rogersville Junction.
D. S. STANLEY,
Major-General.
