Huntsville, July 22, 1862.
General McCook, Battle Creek:
Received your letter yesterday. Telegraph will be extended to you as soon as party can be spared. Nashville is threatened by cavalry. Railroad between Nashville and Murfreesborough cut yesterday; will take eight days to repair it. Economize to the last degree and buy all the supplies you can. I congratulate you and General Crittenden upon promotion.
D. C. BUELL.
