These dispositions not only made it necessary to send A. J. Smith to the support of Rosecrans, who commanded in Missouri, but compelled Canby to abandon any idea of reinforcing Granger before Mobile. On the 29th of August, Grant said to Halleck: I agree with you it would be hazardous and productive of no special good to send Gordon Granger past Mobile towards Atlanta. . . .

Grierson's division [of cavalry] is still in Missouri, and the balance of the cavalry belonging to the army of the Cumberland, not having yet received their horses and equipme only troops dismounted for Sherman. On the 25th, Grant telegraphed to Halleck: I think it advisable to send orders to Missouri that all the troops coming from there should receive their directions from General Thomas, and not listen to conflictinge master of all the troops within his territorial command.
