JULY 12, 1863. General WILLCOX: I have transportation all ready to send to Lawrenceburg for troops, in case it is thought best to send them down the river. Give me the earliest information. I am satisfied that your troops are now in a good position to move to the place where they are most needed. I thought Madison strong enough to resist attack, but it would be well to get some re-enforcements. You get information that Morgan has certainly been on that place. I have notified gunboats that he may attempt to cross above Madison. The troop-boats can get the troops there, if you conclude to send them down. I think you will have a good chance to catch Morgan at last. Hobson ought to be close onto his heels. Telegraph often and fully. A. E. BURNSIDE, Major-General.
