HDQRS. FIRST BRIGADE, SECOND CAVALRY DIVISION,
Between Marietta and Roswell, September 29, 1864

Capt. LEVI T. GRIFFIN,
Acting Assistant Adjutant General:

CAPTAIN: Since our arrival here yesterday, morning nothing of importance has occurred. One of the men of the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, who was captured on the 25th instant, escaped on the next day and has returned to the command. He reports having been carried that night to Cumming via Alpharetta. On the way he passed through different squads of the rebels in tens, twenties and fifties, numbering in all at least 1,000. He appears to be quite positive as to their numbers. In one camp they had 200, probably the same party that attacked our forage trains the next day. The most of them were dressed in our uniforms. He was taken before Colonel Hill, Sixth Texas Cavalry {Thirty-fifth Tennessee Infantry}, who has his headquarters about five miles this side of Cumming, and there closely questioned. Colonel Hill, who commands the forces there, appeared to be well acquainted with our numbers and position. Citizens report that a part of the force was to move toward Dalton on Tuesday. I have forwarded to General Elliot’s headquarters and to Captain McBurney all reports due to this date.
Very respectfully, yours,

W. H. JENNINGS,Major, Commanding First Brigade.

I am seeking additional information on what unit(s) were operating in the Alpharetta/Cumming area at that time in order to authenticate placement of a historical marker.

It is difficult to determine if this refers to the 6th TX Cav or the 35th Tennessee
