Brigadier General Wheeler
Commanding Cavalry Brigade
 
General,
   I am instructed by the major-general commanding to say, in reply to your note, concerning the destruction of the rails on the railroad this side of the Mill Creek Bridge, that he wishes them destroyed, inasmuch as he has no means of removing them. He wishes to know whether or not the bridges have been destroyed on the Nashville and Columbia road {Nashville & Decatur RR}.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
John A. Buckner
Lieutenant Colonel and Assistant Adjutant General
{There are several Mill Creeks in Tennessee, all near Nashville; which one is intended is not known}
