Camp at Stoneâs River, November 15, 1862.
Maj. JoHN A. CAMPBELL, Asst. Adjt. Gen., Right Wing, Fourteenth Army Corps:
Masor: Your communication by courier came to hand at 12.15. I have nothing of importance tocommunicate. All quiet during the night, and so far during the day. The work at Mill Creek and Stoneâs River completed. The crossings will answer during low water. Any considerable rise would seriously interrupt communication. I am camped on the west side of Stoneâs River, my orders not warranting me in proceeding farther on this line. My distance from Nashville is 84 miles. General Wood is at Silver Springs, 9 miles from this point. A train of some 35 wagons went from this command to Nashville this morning for provisions, with orders to return this evening, if possible.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
_ JAMES D. MORGAN,
Brigadier-General, Commanding Second Brigade.
