Col. JOSEPH WHEELER,
Commanding Cavalry:

COLONEL:
The major-general commanding directs me to say that this command will move on the Springfield pike to Springfield and thence via Perryville to Harrodsburg. He wishes you to move your command to Harrodsburg on the route originally selected for this command, viz, via Willisburg and Mackville. There are cavalry pickets at Chaplin and on the Glenville and Bloomfield road, all of which will be withdrawn by you at the proper time. Colonel Pell’s detachment will accompany this command.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

T. B. ROY,
Assistant Adjutant-General.

P. S.—The general wishes you to send Brown’s company cavalry and a squad of Texas Rangers now on the Bloomfield road to him.
