[Telegram] Taylorsville May 25, 1864
To Genl Bragg.
I see no advantage in transferring Echols from his present Brigade, to Command that of McClausland. Dissatisfaction already existing, would I think be increased. A Commander will have to be appointed or assigned for McClausland's Brigade, or it can be left in Command of the Senior Colonel B. H. Jones
