HEADQUARTERS,
Nashville, July 13, 1862.

Col. J. B. FRY,
Chief of Staff:

Train from Murfreesborough with Colonel Anderson just arrived. Colonel Lester at 3 o’clock p. in. still held his position, with slight loss. Hewett’s battery doing well. Lester was confident that he could hold out until re-enforced. The Ninth Michigan, Colonel Duffield, and General Crittenden reported captured. The railroad was clear. I send by train Colonel Gillem, First Tennessee, three companies Fifth [Fiftieth ?] Indiana, two companies Sixty-ninth Ohio, and one section Bush’s battery.
They will go carefully and I think reach Lester in time. Please reply.

JNO. F. MILLER,
Colonel, Commanding.
