Cincinnati, Ohio, December 5, 1862.
Brig. Gen. J. T. BoYLE, Louisville, Ky. :
If you credit Grangerâs report in regard to enemyâs cavalry, you will stop the movement of the Second Michigan and Ninth Pennsylvania till you can replace them by other mounted troops, and you will employ them meanwhile to guard railroad bridge, if needful. Hasten mounting of Sixth Kentucky and the movements of the Twelfth Kentucky as
much as possible. H. G@. WRIGHT, Major-General, Commanding.
NASHVILLE, December 6, 1862â1 p. m. Hon. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War, and ADJUTANT-GENERAL U.S. ARMY: General Stanley and I are very anxious to have Mannâs Seventh Michigan Cavalry, now armed and equipped at Detroit, ordered to this army, which is lamentably deficient in cavalry and cavalry arms and equipments. Do grant us this request. W. S. ROSECRANS, Major-General.
