HEADQUARTERS,
Tuscumbia, November 6, 1864.
His Excellency
President DAVIS,
Richmond:
General Wheeler
reports from Blue Mountain that Sherman is moving one corps to Chattanooga and
one corps to Tennessee and three to Marietta. I hope to march for Middle
Tennessee by the 8th or 9th instant. Should he move two or three corps south
from Atlanta I think it will be the best thing that could happen for our
general good. General Beauregard agrees with me as to my plan of operations.
Would like to be informed if any forces are sent from Grant or Sheridan to
Nashville.
J. B. HOOD,
General.
