I left an officer with sufficient force at Frankfort to make the assessment. Will report to you by mail in full as soon as completed. I have one officer and twenty men watching Miami, and two officers and sixty men up the Wakenda, on the north side of the river, where I heard of Anderson, with sixty-two men, going east. Anderson's gang killed Private James Warren, Company M, Seventh Missouri State Militia Cavalry, at Hill's Landing, on his return from Carrollton, where he had been sent. I leave for up-river and shall be at Lexington to-morrow.
