FORT HENRY, March 16, 1862.
Major-General
HALLECK:
Yesterday I
telegraphed General Buell. I am authorized by Flag. Officer Foote to request
that you send up the Tennessee River the gunboat Carondelet. Her services are
much needed on this river. Would it not be well to have an iron-clad boat on
this river? The river is now very high and rising.
U.S. GRANT,
Major-General.
