Unknown to William S. Rosecrans, December 3, 1862
Lexington, Ky., December 3, 1862.
Major-General ROSECRANS, Nashville, Tenn. : . Johnsonâs regiment not ready. Oanât get arms or horse equipments for them. Canât figure out a force to replace Granger without exposing upper end of road, or taking troops from the district, which would not be prudent; but if you must have him, I will do the best I can. Think the enterprise you refer to is practicable, and shall communicate again about it. I canât replace the section of Andrewsâ battery sent to Bruce, as I have none for the purpose. Boyle will telegraph you in regard to McHenryâs regiment going to Olarksville, and we wil! try to stop the contraband traffic at our end of the line. H. G. WRIGHT, Major-General, Commanding.
