LA VERGNE,
April 20, 1863.

General GARFIELD, Chief of Staff:

Reports from citizens are that General Wheeler, with all his command, is within 6 miles of Charlton’s Ford, 5 miles down Stone’s River from here; also a large force of cavalry between Baird’s Mills and Lebanon. They report that the rebels say they will attack La Vergne and clear out the force here. Don’t think the rebels can do it. Our patrols have had slight skirmishing across Stone’s River, 8 miles from here.

GEO. P. ESTE,
Colonel, Commanding.
