LOOKOUT, [November] 22, 1863.

General HARDEE:

Will Colonel Anderson remain at Johnson's Crook? If so, can he picket to include Silton's trail, next above McCaig's? Will he report direct to you? I will use the cavalry on the mountain to picket Trenton and the trails from McCaig's, to include Nickajack.

Gist's division, as I ordered, has moved to the right. Send a brigade as soon as possible to occupy his front. Jackson has been ordered to send another.

Send Cumming at once. Let him move quickly; say the enemy are advancing.
