General J. B. HOOD,

Florence:

Uncles necessity for Colonel Patterson's command to move from here to Iuka be very urgent, I recommend it should be left here as long as practicable, or until proper garrison for this place shall have arrived. General Roddey should come here soon as possible, to confer with Colonel Reid, commander of this post.
