Dept. Hd. Qrs. In the Field. Camp near Medicine Bluff - Indian Ty. Sunday night. January 10, 1869.

Dear General.

       Coming from Cobb one day behind Gen'l. Sheridan and Hd. Qrs. with 7th Cavalry, I reached Chandler's old ranche Thursday night to find everybody there except Imes with your tent and Harmon with some property, grain &c left behind, had that morning moved to this point.   I staid there that night and came her on Friday.  I believe Imes alone remains at Chandler's
    You will at once see how matters stand here.  I am sorry that the 7th Cavalry wagon train &c was brought so far down as it could have done as well or better above, but I believe it is doing no harm where it is camped.   The Kansas Reg't is half way between this place and Chandlers and will be brought no nearer.  Major Kidd's Battalion is well placed for the present and there is a good place for you left near to him.
