Contains Wheeler's orders transmitted by D. G. Reed, Assistant Adjutant General. Wheeler, commanding cavalry corps, Army of Tennessee, states "...The commanding General of this Army relies solely upon information received from Cavalry, to make his dispositions and inaccuracies in their reports may entail great disasters..." Contains other directives pertaining to the accuracy of reports. Closes by stating: "Cavalry Officers and Soldiers must always remember that they are the eyes and ears of the General commanding, and without frequent and correct intimations from them regarding the enemy, his disposition must be faulty and his success by no means certain."
