HEADQUARTERS DETACHMENT ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE,
In Camp, Nine Miles from Pulaski, Tenn., December 29, 1864.

Major General G. H. THOMAS,

Commanding Forces in the Field:

The head of my column encamps to-night nine miles from Pulaski, awaiting my supply train. Hereafter, if the roads continue as good as we have found them, we will make from twelve to fifteen miles per day with the supply train. Learning that Hood has gone to Corinth, I will take all necessary precaution until the cavalry arrive, and then feel them. If sufficiently re-enforced, shall I attack? I will be prudent, you may depend.

Very respectfully,

A. J. SMITH,

Major-General.
