HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE MISSOURI,
Saint Louis, September 12, 1864.
Brigadier-General McNEIL,
Rolla, Mo.:
Sanborn reports Freeman on Spring River, fifteen miles below Salem, Ark. Rumored at Pilot Knob that a portion of Shelby's command is at Doniphan. Take best care of what you have. Look after the trains going to Springfield. I will send re-enforcement soon. I expect Seventh Kansas from Memphis. Keep me posted.
W. S. ROSECRANS,
Major-General.
