Geo. E. Flynt to and Chief of Staff, November 13, 1862

Gallatin, November 13, 1862.

Colonel KENNETT: CoLONEL: I understand that Lebanon is held by our troops, and that a portion of Crittenden’s forces have passed through, going south, so reported. Have received sundry telegrams yesterday and to-day from Nashville. Nothing said about a skirmish ora fight at Lebanon. I am under the impression that Crittenden’s corps has, or will, all pass through eens place, but we have no official information in regard to it at this office.

Very respectfully,

Major and Chief of Staff.

: S.—Major Starling is General Crittenden’s assistant adjutant-general.
