That night I received further notice from McPherson that he had found Resaca too strong for a surprise; that in consequence he had fallen back three miles to the month of Snake Creek Gap, and was there fortified.

Everything was in perfect order; letters and papers filed and labeled, and neatly arranged in drawers and pigeonholes.
