I have read your dispatch to General Cobb in regard to my order announcing the terms of the convention between Sherman and Johnston. I have received the terms of that convention from other sources, and regard them as applicable, by permission of the Government, to any Confederate forces that choose to accept them. You need have no fear that the construction put upon General Johnston's order by General Cobb and myself will in any way prejudice the settlement of affairs. I am ready to renew hostilities at any moment upon parties who may not choose to avail themselves of the terms offered.

J. H. WILSON,

Brevet Major-General.
