HDQRS. MILITARY DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI,
In the Field near Atlanta, August 16, 1864.
(Received 10.20 p. m.)
General SCHOFIELD:
Have you an idea where Mount Gilead Church is! Ascertain if possible from General Kilpatrick if he does not think with two of General Garrard’s brigades in addition to his own he could break the Macon road effectually. I do not think General Garrard will try.
W. T. SHERMAN,
Major- General, Commanding.
