General Davis' two brigades are ordered to be in readiness to move to your support.

General JOHN M. BRANNAN:
General Garfiels' letter* of this morning stated that you would join General Thomas. General McCook has no instructions or orders to the contrary, and expects you to act upon the instructions you receive from the general commanding, independently of him, and upon your own judgment.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Major-General SHERIDAN:
I am directed by the general to say that the state of affairs at the front is now such that there is no necessity of keeping either of your brigades in readiness to move out at once. You can theretofore put it on the footing of the rest of your command.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
G. P. THRUSTON,
Assistant Adjutant-General and Chief of Staff.
