PALMETTO, GA.,
October 2, 1864.
General B. BRAGG,
Richmond, Va.:
To-night my right will be at Powder Springs with my left at
Lost Mountain. This will, I think, force the enemy to move on me or to move
south. Should he move toward Augusta all available troops should be sent there,
with an able officer of high rank to command. Could General Lee spare a
division for that place in such an event?
J. B. HOOD,
General.
