I will now state approximately what troops may, in my belief, be withdrawn from the following quarters and added to the army at or about Dalton, namely: From Alaba

He has, however, failed heretofore to respond to like emergencies, and no plans should be based on his compliance. The telegram was dated Richmond, December 4th, 1864. But his reply reached Headquarters after General Beauregard's departure from Montgomery. When the War Department was apprised of the fact the following telegram was forwarded to Lieutenant-General Taylor: Meridian, Dec. 14th, 1864.
