HEADQUARTERS, Huntsville

General NELSON,
Athens:

Send two sections of artillery with Jackson’s cavalry. Colonel Duffield, Crittenden, and Ninth Michigan reported captured at Murfreesborough. Colonel Lester and Hewett’s battery held out at 3 o’clock. He will be re-enforced in time, I think. Try to reach the cars in the morning and look out for Franklin Bridge and Nashville.
