Colonel KENNETT, Oommanding Cavalry Division, Hartsville, Tenn. :

Not being acquainted with the condition of your command, the general is unwilling to give you positive orders, but if, without undue risk, you could cross the Cumberland near to where you are now encamped, and come round by the way of Lebanon, he would be pleased to have you do so.
very respectfully,
