John A. Moclernand to John A. McClernand, July 29, 1862

General MoCLERNAND, Bolivar : Have you ordered the men I had at Toone’s Station to Medon? If not, I hope you will doit. I have sent one company to Medon to-day. JOHN A. LOGAN, Brigadier-General. BOLIVAR, July 29, 1862. Brigadier-General LOGAN, Jackson: I sent 100 men this morning to Medon. There should be at least 150 men to guard there and half way to Toone’s. General Ross will guard the other half and from Toone’s. You will relieve the men sent by me to-morrow by sending about 70 more men, which, with what are there now, will be 150. JOHN A. McOLERNAND, Major-General. BOLIvAR, July 29, 1862. I ordered you to send a company to Medon and you did not do it. You had more than two regiments at Jackson. You had four companies besides which had been ordered here, and are mistaken in saying they were all delayed as camp guards. The bridges north and south of Jackson within a few miles were destroyed. You have not been azked to re-enforce anybody from your present force. I sent a force to repair the wire and bridge at Medon. ‘The wires are repaired and the bridge nearly. What was your telegram of yesterday but a gratuitous complaint? But enough.

JOHN A. MoCLERNAND,
