Datelined ''Camp at Cove Springs, Ga., Oct. 15, 1864,'' letter reads in part: “…I've been moving about for some time we have made quite a change in affairs in the Department. The army now is on the march to Tenn. the advance is above Dalton cutting the rail road as they go and will obstruct the Tunnel so that it cant be repaired if not blow it up. We are west of Roam [Rome] had a considerable fight yesterday [likely Darbytown Road], loss being slight our army will eventually stop at Decatur after going to Chattanooga and likely to Murfreesboro, Nashville, Columbia it is not known yet when we will stop I am in hopes that we will be able to drive them from Tenn. and hold them there…Gen. Beauregard is in comd of this army I want you all to get in the notion of leaving East Tenn and going to Texas Jas. P. Nenney Gen. Ross Escort. Ross Brigade, Jackson's Cav.
