HEADQUARTERS,
La Grange, Tenn., November 10, 1862 – 7.45 p.m.
Am I to understand that I lie still here while an expedition
is fitted out from Memphis, or do you want me to push as far south as possible?
Am I to have Sherman move subject to my order, or is he and his threes reserved
for some special service? Will not more forces be sent here?
U.S. GRANT,
Major-general.
Maj. Gen. H. W. HALLECK,
General-in-Chief.
