Knoxville, Tenn., October 25, 1862.

Brigadier General HENRY HETH,

Commanding Second Division, Balin's Cross-Roads:

GENERAL: The major-general commanding directs that you would move your command with as little delay as possible to Lenoir Station or vicinity. This station is near the month of Little Tennessee River. The whole of this command will move to Kingston as soon as it can be put in marching condition. It will be kept near the railroad until it can be recuperated. You will make requisitions for such supplies as you want.

Very respectfully,

E. CUNNINGHAN,

Lieutenant and Acting Aide-de-Camp.

P. S. - In moving your division you had better send your wagons and perhaps take most of your troops by the Emory road, as everything is stripped along the route which General Bragg's column moved and the road is choked up with wagons.
