On Grant, Halleck, and floods. "I have not the control & direction of affairs which you suppose... Gen. Buell is assembling a very large force at Nashville. Gen. Halleck will and is now transferring Gen. Grant's Army over to the Tennessee...And tomorrow a joint naval & army expedition goes down in front...If Columbus be evacuated the Expedition should go down to Island No. 10 and New Madrid to cooperate with Genl. Pope... But I cannot flatter myself with the belief that I shall be entrusted with any important command, although Halleck has promised me."
