To further confirm this, Sherman's advance division will march direct from Whiteside to Trenton.

The remainder of his force will pass over a new road just made from Whiteside to Kelly's Ferry, thus being concealed from the enemy, and leave him to suppose the whole force is going up Lookout Valley.
Sherman's advance has only just reached Bridgeport.

The rear will only reach there on the 16th.

This will bring it to the 19th as the earliest day for making the combined movement as desired.

Inform me if you think you can sustain yourself until this time.
