Letter
John A. Logan to Moclernand, July 30, 1862
JACKSON
JACKSON, July 30, 1862.
General MOCLERNAND: I have sent every cavalryman that is able to ride, under Colonel MeCullough, to support Colonel Hogg. Major Stewart is not able to go. The enemy are in force, I am pretty well satisfied, and I am re-enforcing on the railroad between here and Humboldt, or shall do so as soon as I can get cars. Iam satisfied Jackson will make a dash somewhere on the road unless Colonel Hogg can hold him in check.
JOHN A. LOGAN,
Brigadier-General.
