There is little movement either of Rosecrans' army or the army in Kentucky under Burnside. A series of notes between Halleck in Washington and Rosecrans' rehash the prodding to move the army forward and the reasons it cannot.
Troops that were to be returned to the area after the fall of Vicksburg have not yet arrived from Mississippi. Burnside is told not to wait for these but to commence immediately to move on East Tennessee. Burnside is also in the process of finishing the defeat of Morgan's raid.
