Unknown to William S. Rosecrans, November 6, 1862
Lexington, Ky., November 6, 1862.
Maj. Gen. W. S. ROSECRANS, Bowling Green :
General Halleck directs that all troops in Kentucky that can be spared be sent down the Mississippi without delay. To carry out these instruetions efficiently, I must send all of Grangerâs force, with the exception of, say, five regiments. This will, of course, prevent the occupation of London and Somerset. Do you think such occupation so important to the success of your operations as to withhold the force of Granger from the Hapeeiac ta expedition? Ido not think so. They should go. Answer quick.
