The Third Brigade of my division was sent last night by General Granger to Franklin. I would like to have it ordered back. If any re-enforcements are to be sent to hold that point, I think they should come from his command.

FRANKLIN, June 6, 1863-Midnight.

General GARFIELD, Chief of Staff:

Yesterday morning, being very unwell, I asked General Granger to relieve me for a few days, stating, in the same dispatch, if he could not I would hold up. Van Derveer came and assumed command at noon, but still I had all the work to do. To-day some better, and have done all the fighting. Nothing has been done except by me. To-nigh I received the following order from Granger:
