"I am in immediate communication with Genl. Buell by telegraph. I cannot leave here to meet him, till Fort Henry, New Madrid and Ponton are connected by telegraph. Have strong parties at work to effect this. Genl. [Samuel R.] Curtis is again calling for reinforcements & has drawn in his reserves, thus exposing his depot, which is threatened. I want him in reach to direct him by telegraph."
