Status - John Baer - 40th Indiana Regiment - Granger's Corps - Sheridan's Division - Wagner's Brigade
The 40th Indiana is likely still on furlough during this time.Confederate cavalry under Forrest seem to be near Jackson, TN. Union forces continue to search for them on all their possible lines of movement.
Sherman is able to supply his army but is unable to accumulate supplies for the coming campaign. He considers not using the railroad to transfer troops or cattle so as to allow for other supplies to reach the front.
General Schofield is now convinced that Longstreet's Confederates are moving to Virginia and is working to confirm this.
As part of a larger shakeup of Sherman's command, General Granger is ordered to be removed from command of his corps, in favor of General O. O. Howard.
