Thos. L. Snead to Abraham J. Little, September 12, 1862

Bay Springs, Miss., September 12, 1862.

Brigadier-General LITTLE, Oommanding Division :

GENERAL: You will move your division at sunrise to-morrow, or immediately after the major-genera! shall have passed, upon the left-hand or most western road to Iuka. They fork about 14 miles northeast of this place. Please order all wagons to be kept out of the road until you begin to move. Send your forage agents ahead to purchase forage and make the neighbors haul it to your encampment, which will be a little beyond Peyton’s Mill. Allow General Armstrong’s wagons to pass you on the right-hand road before sunrise, if they can do so without delaying your march. Send your pioneers ahead early enough to repair the road.

very respectfully,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
