Letter
Unknown to Hall telegraphed from Glasgow as follows, December 4, 1862
HEADQUARTERS FOURTEENTH ARMY CORPS,
Nashville, December 4, 1862.
Major-General WRIGHT, Frankfort : Colonel Hall telegraphed from Glasgow as follows: General Gilbert has ordered my cavalry all back to Lebanon, and without it I can do little toward scouring the country. All is quiet. A small but active body of guerrillas are in Monroe, and the country is full of stragglers, all requiring examination. I had just ordered Hall’s forces down to Carthage, where they will take post. Please provide for the country thus uncovered. Boyle reports that force of Munfordville is too small, and without artillery, and that Hall dismantled works there.
W. 8S. ROSECRANS,
Major-General, Commanding.
