HEADQUARTERS FIRST PROVISIONAL BRIGADE,
Nashville, September 16, 1861.

Colonel JOHN C. BROWN,

Camp Trousdale, Tenn.:

SIR: I transmit an order from General Johnston* by yourself, and by his authority I am directed to control the movement which he directs. The utmost secrecy is requisite in your preparations. It is desirable that you be in readiness to move to-morrow evening, but no actual announcement of the movement, unless you can effectually conceal it under guise of moving the camp, should be made until the arrival of your transportation. You should have at least fifty rounds of ammunition and subsistence for a week. If not adequately provided send your staff officer by return of engine to provide what is necessary. Your men should have a day's cooked rations in their haversacks. You will probably be advised of the actual movement an hour or two in advance of departure.

Respectfully, your obedient servant,

S. B. BUCKNER,

Brigadier-General, C. S. Army.

I wish to have a pioneer engine at Camp Trousdale at 4 p. m. to-morrow. With this engine I wish enough railroad iron, spikes, and hammers to replace - feet of railroad track.
