HEADQUARTERS,
Cincinnati, April 11, 1863.

Major General W. S. ROSECRANS:

I have received the following dispatch from General Wright:

I learn from General Judah that General Rosecrans has ordered the Third Kentucky Cavalry, now at Russellville, to Murfreesborough. This leaves that section without mounted force. This regiment was sent into Kentucky some time ago by General Rosecrans, and it was the understanding with him that it was to remain if certain other mounted force was sent him from Kentucky. I may have misunderstood his agreement. Let it reaming permanently, but this dispatch will show what his understanding was. At any rate it should not be removed without orders from you, and such orders should pass through me.

H. G. WRIGHT,

Brigadier-General.

I will retain the regiment until I hear from you, and if you then want it, I will sent it. Answer.

A. E. BURNSIDE,

Major-General.
