Letter
Unknown to Don Carlos Buell, November 28, 1861
LEBANON
LEBANON, November 28, 1861.
General BUELL:
Express from Colonel Bramlette at 2 o’clock this morning. He says the enemy is now in Wayne County, advancing towards the river; some at Monticello and others at Mill Springs; ten regiments strong; one piece of artillery. His scouts have just gotten in from Clinton; they were within 200 yards of the enemy’s camp last night; examined well; saw and talked with friends on the road, and reported the facts to him. Will you order the movement of any of the troops here ?
