Harding reported to Bvt. Brig. Gen. Lorenzo Thomas. "General McClellan has placed at the disposal of General Lyon one of the regiments at Quincy. Orders have been sent for it to come here [St. Louis], where it will be equipped, and then sent down the Iron Mountain Railroad to Ironton, from whence it will proceed to Greenville, in Wayne County." Ibid. On July 11, Harding wrote to Bvt. Maj. Seth Williams, asst. adjt. gen. for McClellan. "I hope Grant's regiment will be allowed to come. He and Marsh can aid Cairo and Bird's Point effectually by operations in Cape Girardeau, Scott, Stoddard, Wayne, and Butler counties." HRC, 37-3-108, III, 84. On July 19, Harding wrote to Maj. Gen. John C. Frémont. "Grant was under orders, but his orders were countermanded. Marsh is at Cape Girardeau, instructed to keep open communication with Bloomfield, where Grant was to be." O. R., I, iii, 399. See also Harding to Brig. Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, July 21, 1861, ibid., pp. 400-401. Whether USG was to go to Greenville or Bloomfield is unknown. Greenville, Mo., is about thirty-seven miles south of Ironton; Bloomfield, Mo., about thirty-two miles southeast of Greenville, and about thirty-seven miles southwest of Cape Girardeau.
