LOVEJOY'S STATION, GA., September 11, 1864 - 5. 45 p. m.

General BRAXTON BRAGG,

Richmond, Va.:

I wish to move by the left flank as soon as possible, resting my left on the Chattanooga River, so as to interrupt the communications of Sherman. I have about 26,000 infantry. what re- enforcements can I expect within ten or fifteen days, or within the next month? General Johnston's loss in seventy days in this campaign about 25,000 effective; my own about 8,000 in FIFTY-four days. The army in good spirits.

J. B. HOOD.
