Captain and Assistant Adjutant-General.
LITTLE ROCK, ARK., August 18, 1864-6.15 p. m.
Brigadier General C. C. ANDREWS,
Commanding Devall's Bluff, Ark.:
Do not move all the infantry in from the hay camps till the contractors can make arrangements with other men to work for them. It would be well to leave a company of infantry at each hay station permanently, if you can spare them. My orders regarding the First Nebraska do not seem to have been carried out.
E. A. CARR,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
DEVALL'S BLUFF, ARK., August 18, 1864-7 p. m.
Captain C. H. DYER,
Assistant Adjutant-General, Little Rock:
General Carr's dispatch of 6.15 just received. The mounted force of the First Nebraska was brought in as the expedition was starting, by Lieutenant-Colonel Stephens, without authority. It being here, however, it was best to let it go on the expedition. I had intended to take the First Nebraska as part of the escort for the wagon train. Mr. Johnston say he will not be ready till day after to-morrow.
C. C. ANDREWS,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
