Written from Fort Donelson, Tennessee. General Grant states that "orders ... prohibit negroes from coming into camp. When they are brought in by an officer or soldier they must be turned out ... owners are not to be permitted to search the camp on pretence of looking after their negroes. This would open the way to the most dangerous class of spies that we could have among us."
