CORINTH, April 3, 1863.
General GARFIELD,
Chief of Staff:
Will move on Tuscumbia, and take it, in connection with you. Shall have to move with infantry and artillery. Will have to bridge Little and Big Bear Rivers; therefore let me know in time, so I can co-operate, and be sure of success. It will take three or four days for dispatch to reach me. Had not your forces by river better communicate with Paducah, that we may be sure to start together? Do not believe gunboats succeeded in driving out enemy or silencing batteries at Florence. Heavy gunboats could not pass Coulter's Shoals. Will co-operate as you deem best, and carry out your plans. Please acknowledge receipt of dispatch.

The following just from Boyle:
