CH . xxII.] CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.-CONFEDERATE.
[Indorsement No. 1.]
~~ - , 1862.
GENERAL: No enemy in my front. I have sent scouts out toward
Farmington and to the right to ascertain where he is. I must move
to the right to find him in the morning. I like the move you spoke of
this morning, but from this point I cannot well get around in time for
Bragg and Hardee; that is, unless I can get through the Clear Creek
Bottom, north of the railroad. I will see. I think I can go around
better. When scouts return I will dispatch again.
Yours, &c.,
EARL VAN DORN,
Major-General.
[Indorsement No. 2.]
I think Van Dorn might attack by the road going in at Utley's, while
you attack via Farmington; then drive Pope furiously against Cham-
bers Creek, on toward the junction with Seven Mile Creek.

[General BRAGG.]
[Indorsement No. 3.1
I concur, and will send Van Dorn two guides from Roddey's company
to lead him on the route.
