Need Interpretation Please: Correspondence after Shiloh

[lelliott19]

Can someone help me understand the context of this correspondence? Here's what I can tell: Thomas Jordan, Adjutant General is writing from Corinth to John C Breckinridge who is in command of the Rear Guard, located at the Mickey House. What do we know about the burial party referenced in the letter?

 

[16thAL]

We know soldiers were buried in Pebble Hill cemetery there . Also , Beauregard sent a letter to grant requesting access to the Confederate bodies for burial and family claiming .

Do you have a source that verifies? Or is it just conclusion based on the evidence? The communication from Jordan seems to be in reply to this letter from Breckinridge to Bragg:

Post #7 here by @Ole Miss has correspondence pertaining to April 8, between Grant and Beauregard. The request, it seems, was denied.

"Headquarters Army of the Mississippi,
Monterey, April 8, 1862.
Sir: At the close of the conflict of yesterday, my forces being exhausted by the extraordinary length of time during which they were engaged with yours on that -and the preceding day, and it being apparent that you had received and were still receiving re-enforcements, I felt it my duty to withdraw my troops from the immediate scene of conflict.
Under these circumstances, in accordance with usages of war, I shall transmit this under a flag of truce, to ask permission to send a mounted party to the battle-field of Shiloh for the purpose of giving decent interment to my dead.
Certain gentlemen wishing to avail themselves of this opportunity to remove the remains of their sons and friends, I must request for them the privilege of accompanying the burial party, and in this connection I deem it proper to say I am asking only what I have extended to your own countrymen under similar circumstances.
Respectfully, general, your obedient servant,
G. T. BEAUREGARD,
General, Commanding."

"Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, U. S. A.,
Commanding U. S. Forces near Pittsburg, Tenn.
Headquarters Army in the Field,
Pittsburg, April 9,1862.
Your dispatch of yesterday is just received. Owing to the warmth of the weather I deemed it- advisable to have all the dead of both parties buried immediately. Heavy details were made for this purpose, and now it is accomplished. There cannot, therefore, be any necessity of admitting within our lines the parties you desire to send on the grounds asked.
I shall always be glad to extend any courtesy consistent with duty, and especially so when dictated by humanity.
I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
U. S. GRANT, Major-General, Commanding.

General G. T. Beauregard,
Comdg. Confederate Army of the Mississippi, Monterey, Tenn."
