BOLIVAR
BOLIVAR, July 30, 1862.
General LOGAN, Jackson: You, being on the ground, must determine whether you will re-enforce your guards by railroad or marching on foot. I would adopt the most expeditious way of doing it. Act boldly, but carefully. You say the enemy are in force; cavalry or infantry, or both?
JOHN A. McCLERNAND,
Major-General.
