WASHINGTON CITY,
September 15, [1863] — 5 p.m.
(Received 4 p.m., 18th.)
Maj. Gen. STEPHEN A. HURLBUT,
Memphis:
All the troops that can possibly be spared in Western
Tennessee and on the Mississippi River should be sent without delay to assist
General Rosecrans on the Tennessee River. Urge Sherman to act with all possible
promptness. If you have boats, send them down to bring up his troops.
Information just received indicates that a part of Lee's army has been sent to
re-enforce Bragg.
H. W. HALLECK,
General-in-Chief.
