And, in order to conclude this subject, I also add copies of two telegraphic dispatches, sent for General McClellan’s use about the same time, which are all the official letters received at his headquarters, as certified by the Adjutant-General, L. Thomas, in a letter of February 1, 1862; in answer to an application of my brother, Senator John Sherman, and on which I was adjudged insane: 

Louisville, November 3, 10 p.m.

To General McLELLAN, Washington, D. C.: 

Dispatch just received.  We are forced to operate on three lines, all dependent on railroads of doubtful safety, requiring strong guards.  From Paris to Prestonbnrg, three Ohio regiments and some militia—­enemy variously reported from thirty-five hundred to seven thousand.  From Lexington toward Cumberland Gap, Brigadier-General Thomas, one Indiana and five Ohio regiments, two Kentucky and two Tennessee; hired wagons and badly clad.  Zollicoffer, at Cumberland Ford, about seven thousand.  Lee reported on the way with Virginia reenforcements.  In front of Louisville, fifty-two miles, McCook, with four brigades of about thirteen thousand, with four regiments to guard the railroad, at all times in danger.  Enemy along the railroad from Green River to Bowling Green, Nashville, and Clarksville.  Buckner, Hardee, Sidney Johnston, Folk, and Pillow, the two former in immediate command, the force as large as they want or can subsist, from twenty-five to thirty thousand.  Bowling Green strongly fortified.  Our forces too small to do good, and too large to sacrifice.

W. T. Sherman, Brigadier-General.
