Commanding, Little Rock :
GENERAL: The major-general commanding directs me to say to you that he has instructed General Andrews to send orders to Colonel
Graves to return to Devall’s Bluff and to convey orders to West. to return to within communicating distance of this place. The general thinks that in order to render General West’s reception of the order certain you had better send similar dispatches to him by land. He wishes West to be as near this place as Austin, and he thinks that by bringing the cavalry to that place they could watch Shelby and at the same time be available for the defense of Little Rock. I am, general,
very respectfully, your obedient servant,
