RICHMOND, September 14, 1861.
General ZOLLICOFFER, Knoxville, Tenn.:
Your letter of 10th
received.* The military considerations clearly indicate the forward movement
which you propose. The political condition of Kentucky affects the
determination of this question. Of that you are better informed than ourselves,
and as you are supposed to have conferred with General A. S. Johnston, the
matter is left to your discretion.
S. COOPER,
Adjutant and Inspector General.
