I hear there is a force of two regiments on Pea Ridge, at the point where the Purdy and Corinth roads come together. I am satisfied we cannot reach the Memphis & Charleston road without a considerable engagement, which is prohibited by General Halleck's instructions, so that I will be governed by your orders of ye
