Your absence will probably not extend beyond the night of 2nd or morning of 3d. Should your dismounted force not be large enough to make your train secure you will send it nearer for support from the main army. You had better confer with General Stoneman to- night in reference to your arrangements for time and route o march. I am, general very respectfully, your obedient servant,

SCHOFIELD'S HEADQUARTERS,

June 30, 1864.

Major- General SHERMAN:

It occurs to me as a question worthy of consideration whether Johnston, in anticipation of your present movement, may not bring up to Marietta two or three weeks' supplies, close the gorge of his lines in rear of Marietta, and meet you there in a strongly intrenched position, and with a greater amount of supplies than you can carry.

J. M. SCHOFIELD,

Major- General.
