| Your several dispatches of
to-day astonish me. All your infantry left on Sunday last, the most
of your artillery on Monday night, and the last gun yesterday
morning. Transportation in abundance was on the road {the
East Tennessee & Georgia RR} and subject to your orders.
I regret it has not been energetically used. The means being
furnished, you were expected to handle your own troops, and I cannot
understand your constant applications for me to furnish them. |
