Letter
Unknown to William S. Rosecrans, December 7, 1862
GALLATIN
GALLATIN, December 7, 1862.
General ROSECRANS: If I knew the locality of the enemy, I could use Fry’s entire division, about 8,000, I believe, and leave General Dumont to defend Gallatin. There being so many fords on the river, it becomes necessary to divide
up a good deal.
