Manstein:
The Army of Potomac, at N.Virginia, continues growing it's forces. In 2 or 3 more turns, the total divisions will be about 20 divisions, and beginning the good time I will attack the rebel lines to Richmond.
At Nashville, my army under Ord's command his growing his forces too, and I hope to have about 15 divisions in a few turns, then I will attack Chattanooga to Atlanta. The forces around Memphis has formed the right wing Corps of this army, under Cook's command, stationed now at Corinth, defending the pass to Memphis, but it will take the offensive posture when Ord´s army attacks Chattanooga. This Cook´s Corps is really a joker, because ha can support the Ord advance to the south or to be placed under Grant command and support Grant´s army around Vicksburg. He will be used depending on how the rebel forces will be positioned.
Sherman's Corps under Grant's Army is crossing now the Mississippi at Port Hudson, with 5 divisions, supported by McPherson's Corps, with 4 divisions, placed at Baton Rouge and moving to Clinton(MS). When both corps are adjacent, both will attack to Vicksburg from the south.
At Transmississppi, Reynolds' Corps from the Army of South West, under Curtis's command, has conquered the Ft.Smith depot and when the meteorological conditions will be better, he will continue his advance to Little Rock.
