Things remain the same in the Army of the Cumberland. The main concerns are locating the Confederate cavalry. Forrest is believed to be in western Tennessee, ready to attack Fort Donelson or other nearby places. Morgan has been tracked to Hartsville, TN, but his destination is uncertain.
General Rosecrans, despite his indications in the messages to Halleck on the 15th, has still made no plans for a forward movement.
