Manuscript Document, being a field dispatch copy, 1p. quarto, Tuscumbia, Alabama, November 6, 1864, from General Hood to General Wheeler, it reads "Your dispatch of Nov. 4th from Blue Mountain recd & your disposition of your command therein mentioned is approved - Don't send any cavalry to Gen. Jackson as I before directed you but concentrate all your forces to oppose every possible manner any southerly advance the Enemy may make - be sure that his communications are damaged in every way possible. Communicate frequently & fully with me by telegraph sending your couriers to the nearest telegraph station…" Fine. A nice telegraphed communique.
