The Seventy-first Ohio was detached to Clarksville, Tennessee, and the Sixth and Eighth Missouri were transferred to my division.

I have not yet received Colonel Stuart's report of the operations of his brigade during the time he was detached, and must therefore forbear to mention names.

Such a splendid house, Joe you ought to see the front door! Byzantine I think you would call it. And inside! Oh, Joe, I never saw anything like it before. "My pupil is his daughter Clementina. I dearly love her already.
