HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS,
Camden, October 8, 1864.

Major-General WHARTON, Commanding Cavalry:

GENERAL: I am instructed by Major-General Magruder to inclose you two orders. . . . The major-general commanding directs that you halt Hardeman's brigade at some point on the line between Camden and Red River via Lewisville, at which you can subsist your men from Lewisville, draw forage from Red River, and where your horses can get good grazing. You will select some point having these three things in view and at which the purposes can best [be] attained. As soon as you have located Hardeman's brigade and given the necessary orders the major-general commanding desires you to join him at Camden. The major-general commanding wishes you to forward the inclosed orders at once and give the necessary orders for the movement. In selecting a point at which to halt Hardeman's brigade you need not go farther from the present line of march than may be necessary to secure the three objects above mentioned. The major-general commanding thinks that you can make these dispositions and be at his headquarters by day after to-morrow evening. . . .

I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

ED. P. TURNER,
Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General.
