Status - John Baer - 40th Indiana Regiment - Granger's Corps - Sheridan's Division - Wagner's Brigade
Some of the needed supplies are sent to Granger's divisions by wagon train on the 24th. General Grant is hurrying forward supplies for all the troops in East Tennessee, and is planning a visit in person soon. There is still concern at Washington that East Tennessee not be lost and that Knoxville remains secure; the desire is that Longstreet's Confederates are driven out of the state completely.
Railroads are under repair in Tennessee to ensure sufficient supplies for Chattanooga and East Tennessee, and to create stockpiles for the coming summer advance into Georgia.
