HDQRS. CAVALRY CORPS, MIL. DIV. OF THE MISSISSIPPI,
Macon, Ga., June 13, 1865.

Major General Q. A. GILLMORE,

Hilton Head, S. C.:

Your dispatch of the 12th is received. My instructions were to send the 2,000 men to South Carolina, and as under the new order Florida and Georgia are in General Thomas' military division, I will delay making any more detachments until I receive order from him. I have now a party at Hawkinsville; will therefore send the men, via Augusta, to Orangeburg. Please let me know if this will be agreeable and also how urgent is the necessity of moving at once. The muster out will cause some delay and had better be all disposed of before the troops move again. Please have a supply of forage at Augusta ready to send out to meet the troops. Two regiments will march from here and one from Atlanta.

J. H. WILSON,

Brevet Major-General.
