General Pike, with militia, ordered to report to you yesterday. Move him to Kirkwood; he is now at Laclede Station. Use your judgment about cavalry. As you approach Merrill relieve him by the other cavalry and let his men of the duty nearest Saint Louis.

My two brigades are on the Manchester road to Franklin. The other road reported impracticable for artillery and wagons. I have ordered General Pike to move up his command to this point. Colonel Herrick, Seventh [Kansas] Cavalry, has been ordered to cross the river at Fenton and march upon the south side of the river to Eureka, scouring the country as he goes. I wild leave orders for General Pike to throw forward a force to Meramec Station. Infantry can move from that point forward to Franklin, if necessary. The Twenty-fourth Missouri remain here.
