General Buckner is about three miles from their picket lines "and we must be on the watch for him for he is a cunning old cuss and keeps our Pickets in constant terror." Their lines "extend East & West for fifteen miles" and "they are slowly moving about 2 miles" a week. They may move to Murfreesboro soon "provided we can drive out the rebels."
