November 7, 1862.
November 7, 1862â3.45 p. m. Col. L. ZAHM, Commanding Second Cavalry Brigade :
COLONEL: My command is on the road. General Wood, after marching 20 miles to-day, is encamped within 12 miles of Gallatin. General Van Cleve, on account of water, is encamped at this point, 6 or 7 miles in rear of General Wood. Ishall move with those two divisions promptly in the morning upon Gallatin. If I hear through your courier to-night that Morgan is still at Gallatin, I shall immediately send a part of Woodâs command to that point. I have no cavalry with me, and can only obtain the information through the courier that you may send me, and am not willing to push my weary men farther to-day upon the bare possibility of finding him still there.
By command of Major-General Crittenden :
Assistant Adjutant- General.
