In persuance of my former order you will direct your Command to move at five o’clock tomorrow morning via steamboat with ten days rations to Hannibal Missouri and take position on the line of operations where you may be directed.
You will especially caution the captains of companies to have frequent roll calls and keep their men and company property under their careful supervision. Further orders will be given to you as you proceed as I shall accompany you
Respectfully
