Unknown to William S. Rosecrans, November 10, 1862
Cincinnati, Ohio, November 10, 1862.
Maj. Gen. W. S. ROSECRANS, Bowling Green, Ky.:
I have been informed that the cavalry at Lebanon has been ordered to join General Crittenden. Isthisso? It belongs properly to me, and so long as I have infantry I need cavalry. One of these regiments was to go to Jamestown; the other two were designed by me for Major-General Grangerâs command, with which there is but one small regiment, which is needed for the northeast part of the State, where it was raised, and from which urgent calls for a mounted force to clean out the guerrillas are constantly coming.
H. G. WRIGHT, Major-General, Commanding.
