HDQRS. DEPARTMENT AND THE ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE,
Big Shanty, June 10, 1864 – 5.15 p. m.
Brigadier-General GARRARD,
Commanding Cavalry Division:
GENERAL: The Army of the Tennessee is in camp in the vicinity of this place covering the Marietta and Roswell Factory road. From your note my understanding is, that you are some distance to the rear of our left flank, probably where the Canton road from this place crosses Noonday Creek. I would like to have your command, or a portion of it at least, up more nearly on a line with us.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JAS. B. McPHERSON,
Major-General.
We have had only slight skirmishing to-day.
McP.
