Colonel Thomas Kilby Smith, August 14, 1862

CAMP NEAR MEMPHIS, Aug. 14, 1862.

Your letter of the 8th inst. was received two days ago, and just while I was preparing to act as Chief of General Sherman's Staff in a grand review to be made of Hurlbut's division. To-day our brigade, which is considered the crack brigade of the army here, is to be received; in this I have, of course, to lead my regiment.
