The problem was the more dimcult to
solve by reason Of the impaired condi-
ton OF the army.
The same question had arisen for con-
sideration when Sherman moved from
Chattanooga and formed line OF battle
In front OF Rocky-faced Ridge. My
predecessor did not perceive the neces-
sity Of defeating the enemy at that
period-a necessity a. urgent as that
which impelled Gen. Lee to use extra
ordinary means to reach his enemy In
the Wilderness.

inforced there was, in the present emer-
gency, but one plan to be adopted-by
maneuvers to draw Sherman back into
the mountains. then beat him In battle.

consultation with the corps command
