Major General G. M. DODGE,
Department of the Missouri, Saint Louis, Mo.:
Your dispatches of the 19th, 21st, 23rd, and 24th just received. I will not require more than two full regiments of infantry. I have not decided who I shall leave in charge of overland line. I thought of leaving it as it now is - under sub-district commanders. I will be in constant communication with Laramie (by vedettes), where my adjutant will be and who understands my plans. A bridge across the Platte at Kearny, if it can be built, will be a great public benefit. I will leave the portable steam engine at Kearny. there is some timber in the vicinity. How long has General Tibbits' brigade to serve? No commissary stores yet. I am losing much valuable time for want of them.
P. EDW. CONNOR,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
