Grant himself did not seem entirely sure of his troop dispositions and plans. Of major concern to the Confederates was the question of whether Grant would strike across the state into Alabama or help with an offensive against Bragg in Tennessee. Upon returning from Mobile, where he had conferred with Maj. Gen. Dab-ney H.

Maury on defense of Alabama, Gen. Johnston advised Secretary of War James Seddon that contradictory reports prevented his forming an opinion of enemy intentions. Johnston's account on Aug. 2 to Gen. Samuel Cooper, the adjutant and inspector general in Richmond, contained more definite information.

News that Mrs. Grant had arrived at Vicksburg indicated that the Union general expected to be headquartered there for some time. Johnston also stated that Gen. W. T.

Sherman had gone up river with his corps, a brigade had been shifted down to Natchez, and four boat loads of Negroes had been sent to New Orleans. As shown fa his end-of-July returns. Gen.

W. J. Hardee a call for reinforcements for Bragg. Gen. Johnston returned to his Morton headquarters In time to reply July 30 that he could send nearly 20,000 Infantry and artillery to help Bragg if the need developed.
