ATLANTA, July 26, 1864.
Col. JOHN B. SALE:
Leave to-morrow to
confer with Major-General Maury, in Montgomery, and urge matters beyond.
Lieutenant-General Lee arrived and goes on duty to-day. He is most favorably
received. Tone of army fine, and strength increasing daily. The death of
Brigadier-General Stevens, the wounding of Gist, and inability and sickness of
Mercer and Stovall leave four brigadiers vacant, and the material to select
from inferior. Accordingly, ordered Henry R. Jackson from Savannah. All is
quiet today.
BRAXTON BRAGG,
General.
