Major.General WHEELER, Commanding, &c.:

GENERAL:
The commanding general directs a concentration of your forces farther south, and as nearly as possible on the line of the cavalry in our front. With the cavalry in front you will connect your left. General Hardee’s corps is now at Wartrace. In connection with this force, you will press the enemy back sufficiently to cover the McMinnville railway.

Respectfully, your obedient servant,

W. W. MACKALL,
Chief ofStaff.
