Nashville, Tenn., November 26, 1862.
Col. S. D. BRUCE, Russeliville, Ky. :
Look out for the enemy, and endeavor to make them wish they had never crossed the river. I have notified General Thomas to take care of them should they endeavor to cross the river or lie in ambush. You must dispose of them if they go toward Clarksville. General McCook sends two regiments toward Clarksville to cut them off.
