I have urged Bragg to look at them. That Regiment at Lexington- it appears- I ordered to join its Brigade & it will either come here or more probably will go to Henderson which is nearer even than this place. I have sent a messenger with orders for it to go to Henderson if road is practicable if not to come here forthweith. Yours TJ"; repaired tear, Fine. As Colonel, Jordan was on the staff of Beauregard.
