In compliance with orders from General Fry, I have now on the way two regiments of infantry and a battery, to support you at Hartsville. One regiment and the battery is some 3 miles or more in advance of the other, and are now (11 a. m.) about 4 miles from Gallatin. They will march as rapidly as possible. If the danger has passed, or there is no necessity for coming to your aid, please advise me.
