Were you to decline, still your presence alone would be of inestimable advantage. The enemy are now at Nashville, about 50,000 strong, advancing in this direction by Columbia. He has also forces, according to the report of General Bragg, landing at Pittsburg, from 25,000 to 50,000, and moving in the direction of Purdy. This army corps, moving to join Bragg, is about 20,000 strong. Two brigades, Hindman's and Wood's, are, I suppose, at Corinth. One regiment of Hardee's division (Lieutenant-Colonel Patton commanding) is moving by cars to-day (20th March), and Statham's brigade (Crittenden's division).

I would prefer uniting farther back, at or near Purdy, if the roads permit it. But what I wish to call your attename time, also, left in front, by the road from Monterey to Purdy — the head of the column to reach, by night, the intersectis soon as the rear of the Third Corps shall have passed the Purdy road, and which it will then follow. The Second Corps wl be posted in the same manner on the road from Monterey to Purdy, with its rear resting on or about the intersection of thatoad, having advanced guards and pickets in the direction of Purdy. The forces at Bethel and Pardy will defend their positdy instructed, if attacked; otherwise they will assemble on Purdy, and thence advance with advanced guards, flankers, and ally moving by the latter way to assail Cheatham's division at Purdy.
