Brigadier-General Don Carlos Buell to Major-General Henry W. Halleck, February 7, 1862

FEBRUARY 7, 1862.
General HALLECK, Saint Louis, Mo.:

I congratulate you on your success. Considering the uncertainty of forming a junction, I ordered the brigade from Green River to go up the Tennessee. The boats start to-night to take them on board.

I have no light batteries to send you now.
D.C. BUELL,
Brigadier-General.
