HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF KENTUCKY,
Crossing Kentucky River,
October 12, 1862—4 p. m.

COL. JOHN H. MORGAN,
Commanding Cavalry:

COLONEL:
General Smith directs that you immediately dispose your force in such a manner as to cover and guard all approaches to these crossings at King’s and Baker’s Mills. The infantry of this command will not be able to cross the river before midnight. Colonel Ashby’s command has been ordered to halt 2 miles or so from this point, on the main road to Harrodsburg, where the Danville road comes into it, and where there is water. Colonel Wharton has been directed to cover the train which goes by Nicholasville.

Respectfully, your obedient servant,

E. CUNNINGHAM,
Lieutenant and Acting Aide-de- Camp.
