Major-General Crittenden to L. Zahm, November 7, 1862
HEADQUARTERS SECOND ARMY CORPS,
November 7, 1862.
November 7, 1862—6 p. m. Col. L. ZAHM, Commanding Second Cavalry Brigade :
COLONEL : Since closing my former note of to-day, I have received your report of the movements of your reconnoitering party toward Gallatin, stating that, from all the information they could gain, Morgan was still in Gallatin. Immediately upon receipt of this communication I ordered General Wood to send a brigade of picked men to Gallatin at 2 a. m., so as to reach that point at daylight. If you can in any way co-operate with him, it would be well to do it.
By order of Major-General Crittenden :
LYNE STARLING,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
Assistant Adjutant-General.
