Brig. Gen. N. B. FORREST:

In reply to your communication of the 19th instant I am directed by the general commanding to say that as soon as you accomplish the present object you have in view you will return and act according to the instructions you have previously received, at the same time preparing your command for other service. The enemy is reported advancing up Sequatchie Valley. The artillery will be sent as soon as possible.

Respectfully, general, yours,

GEO. G. GARNER.
