HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT
OF THE MISSOURI,
Saint Louis, January
2, 1862.
Brig. Gen. D.C. BUELL, Louisville, Ky.:
I have had no instructions respecting co-operation. All my
available troops are in the field except those at Cairo and Paducah, which are
barely sufficient to threaten Columbus, &c. A few weeks hence I hope to be
able to render you very material assistance, but now a withdrawal of my troops
from this State is almost impossible. Write me fully.
H. W. HALLECK,
Major-General.
