Status - John Baer - 40th Indiana Regiment - Crittenden's Corps - Wood's Division - Wagner's Brigade
Rosecrans is still working at getting the troops and supplies for his army set up to his satisfaction. Pay has also become a concern, as many troops have not been paid for an extended time. Rosecrans has commanded General Thomas to come as soon as practicable to Nashville. It is intended that Thomas will have the center corps of the reorganized army and will assist with planning the next movements.
The Confederate army has collected around Murfreesboro, and assuming that Rosecrans has no plans to attack, is about to go into winter quarters, after a reorganization into 3 corps.
Crittenden does not appear in the dispatches for these days, and his corps is presumed to be as reported earlier, near Stones River.
