John A. McClernand to G. E. Bryant, Humboldt, July 30, 1862

General LOGAN, Jackson : Are Jackson’s forces between Brackett’s forces, and where, or by the river ? JACKSON, July 30, 1862. G. E. Bryant, Humboldt: I cannot tell you. It will be necessary to keep a sharp lookout. JOHN A. LOGAN, BOLIVAR, TENN., July 30, 1862. It was Pinson’s Mississippi cavalry that Major Stewart engaged yesterday evening. Slemons’ Arkansas cavalry were south of Hatchie and Brownsville yesterday morning. Cotton Jackson’s cavalry retired from Estanaula, Tenn., Sunday, immediately after the fight at mouth of Clover Creek, and on Monday were returning toward La Grange. This is what is credibly reported. ;
