Baldwin, will be relieved by a detail from the infantry of your command. It is believed that 2 lieutenants, 6 non-commissioned officers, and 30 men will be sufficient for this purpose. All the troops will draw and cook enough supplies in addition to what they have on hand to leave this point with four days' cooked rations.

Major Morgan, brigade commissary, should proceed to Tebeauville in advance of the troops, and arrange to have additional supplies provided for them at that point. There is a depot of the tax in kind there from which supplies can probably be obtained.

The major-general commanding desires that you furnish General Colquitt with a guide to Tebeauville.

The Sixty-fourth Georgia Regiment will hereafter report direct to your headquarters.

I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

WM. G. BARTH,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
