Colonel Theophilus T. Garrard to Brigadier-General George H. Thomas, October 3, 1861

OCTOBER 3, 1861.

I have not said anything about the cavalry, as I supposed they would return. It will be very inconvenient for our men to go so far from camp as they should to be effective. The road from our camp towards London for several miles is only tolerable, but from that point to the rebel camp on Cumberland River is as good if not better than and other dirt road in Kentucky that I know.

Respectfully,
T. T. GARRARD,        
Colonel Third Regiment Volunteers.
