 Murfreesborough, [February] 24, 1862
 
His Excellency Jefferson Davis
 
   My movements have been delayed by a storm on the 22d washing away pike and railroad bridge {on the Nashville & Chattanooga RR} at this place. Floyd, 2,500 strong, will march for Chattanooga to-morrow to defend the central line. This army will move on 26th, by Decatur, for the valley of Mississippi; is in good condition and increasing in numbers.
A. S. Johnston
