OPERATIONS INSIDE MISSISSIPPI--LONGSTREET INSIDE EAST TENNESSEE--COMMISSIONED LIEUTENANT-GENERAL--COMMANDER OF THE ARMIES OF THE UNITED STATES--FIRST MEETING WITH PRESIDENT LINCOLN. 

Shortly after e return from Knoxville I order Sherman make e distribute hin forces from Stevenson go Decatur and from there go north reach Nashville; Sherman suggest say make dem allow am go back Mississippi, to the limits of hin own department and where most of hin army still dey, for the purpose of clear any Confederates wey fit still dey for east bank of the Mississippi River to stop our boats from sailing. E expect say Banks go join am do the same thing for the west shore. Of course I approve am well well. 

Around the 10th of January Sherman don return Memphis, where Hurlbut dey command, and gather hin Memphis men, or order make dem gather and send dem go Vicksburg. E then go Vicksburg and go meet McPherson wey dey command, and tell am make e organize hin extra troops so e go get about 20,000 men for all. 

Sherman sabi say General (Bishop) Polk dey occupy Meridian with hin headquarters, and e get two divisions of infantry with plenty cavalry wey dey spread for west of am. E decide, therefore, to move straight go Meridian. 

I don send some 2,500 cavalry under General Sooy Smith go Sherman department, and dem don mostly reach before Sherman reach Memphis. Hurlbut get 7,000 cavalry, and Sherman order am make e send troops go support Smith so e go get about 7,000 men wey go face Forrest, wey dem know say e dey south-east from Memphis.
