November 13, 1862. General GRANT:
Sullivan reached Holly Springs at 12.30. I think he must have gone to Leeâs support at Lathamâs Mill and fired a few shots at the cavalry engaged with Lee; but five shots were heard, and I do not doubt it was Sullivanâs artillery. The couriers recalling him and Lee ought to have reached them by 4 p. m.
Cc. S. HAMILTON, Brigadier-General. Wark DEPARTMENT, Washington, November 14, 1862. Maj. Gen. U. S. GRANT, La Grange :
Some one signing himself John Riggin, superintendent of military telegraphs, is interfering with the management of telegraphs in Kentucky and Tennessee. This man is acting without the authority of Col. Anson Stager, general superintendent of military telegraphs (see General Orders, No. 38, April, 1862), and isan imposter. Arrest him and send him north of your department before he does mischief by his in. terference.
