Letter

Cc. R. Thompson to Jeremiah T. Boyle, November 17, 1862

Nashville, Tenn., November 17, 1862.

Brig. Gen. J. T. BOYLE, Louisville, Ky. :

There is every reason to believe that the report about Morgan is a perfect humbug, as there are troops in that direction who would surely have seen or heard of them.

By command of Major-General Rosecrans:

Cc. R. THOMPSON,
Captain and Aide-de-Camp.

Editor's Notes
From: Operations in Kentucky, Middle and East Tennessee, N. Alabama, S.W. Virginia, Pt. 1. Location: Nashville, Tenn.. Summary: Cc. R. Thompson informs Brig. Gen. Boyle that reports of Morgan's movements are likely false, as nearby troops have seen no evidence of his presence.
