Send brigade at Glasgow to Tompkinsville, with five day's rations always ahead. They will draw their supplies from Bowling Green or Cave City, and when arrived will supply themselves, as far as possible, from the country, giving proper receipt for what they take, crediting the Government, and making regular issues. If they can find horses enough, will mount themselves. Pack-saddles will be forwarded to them for that purpose, on reporting to these headquarters that they have the horses.
