William S. Rosecrans to Cc. R. Thompson, November 17, 1862
HEADQUARTERS FOURTEENTH ARMY CORPS,
Nashville, Tenn., November 17, 1862.
There is every reason to believe that the report about Morgan is a perfect humbug, as there are troops in that direction who would surely have seen or heard of them.
By command of Major-General Rosecrans:
Cc. R. THOMPSON,
Captain and Aide-de-Camp.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE Ohio,
Captain and Aide-de-Camp.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE Ohio,
Editor's Notes
From: Operations in Kentucky, Middle and East Tennessee, N. Alabama, S.W. Virginia, Pt. 1. Location: Nashville, Tenn.. Summary: Major-General Rosecrans reports to Captain Thompson that the rumored presence of Morgan's troops is likely false due to nearby forces who would have detected them.
