It is almost impossible to construct sufficient pontoons to cross the river in force. I do not consider the capture of Chattanooga as very difficult or hazardous, if we were prepared to do it and then hold the place. But taking into consideration the exposed condition of both front and rear of our lines to Pittsburgh Landing, the long line of communication over a hardly possible road, the liability of a rise of the streams we have to ford, some of them being now three (3) feet deep, with rough bottoms, our limited supplies, and the fact that our expedition has accomplished all we expected to do, has determined me to retire the forces, taking different routes, so as to drive Starns to Knoxville.
