Letter

George H. Thomas to William S. Rosecrans, November 13, 1862

GALLATIN

General ROSECRANS: Have not been able to see Mr. Anderson yet. Went to the tunnel this morning; northern tunnel clear; south tunnel, General Steedman thinks, can be cleared in eight days with a force of 500 men. I directed him to put the men on at once, which will be done to-morrow. How long will Crittenden remain at Silver Springs ?

GEO. H. THOMAS,

Major-General.
