To Col. John Pegram, Chief of Staff, re orders for his cavalry near Lexington, Kentucky. "I sent out scouts to Shakertown & also Col. Duke's Regt. with orders to hold the enemy in check in case they were advancing until I could go to his assistance with the remainder of my command…. I Shall move with the remainder of my force to Shakertown immediately where I will remain...according to Gen. Bragg's orders. I am very much confused by the various conflicting orders which I have read, & have necessarily been kept so constantly moving that I have not been able to procure subsistence for my men for three days."
