October 8, 1862. Brigadier-General MCARTHUR:
If Hurlbut’s division is pushing for Ripley you may follow McPherson by Nolin’s toward Hatchie, where there is water, and pushing to Blackland.
By order of Major-General Rosecrans:
Tieutenant-Colonel and Chief of Staff.
CarRo, ILL., October 8, 1862—10.35 a. m.
General Grant telegraphs me that he wants at least twenty regiments
as soon as they can possibly be got. Governor Yates has not got them
ready to move. Cannot General Curtis or the Governor of Iowa send
some? I have telegraphed General Wright.
