Covington KyJune 3/61
His Excellency,
Governor Magoffin,
Sir,

Messrs. Smith Samuels and Foley, are a committee appointed on the part of a company of Home Guards, for the purpose of procurring arms. The company is formed of excellent materials, and is well drilled. They have had, as a company of State Guards, the arms they now desire to retain as a company. As there is yet a company of State Guards here, having state arms, I suppose this company have a right to retain the arms they now have, I tell them they can rely upon your dealing out to
them exact and impartial justice, so far as you have the power as one of the Commission

Respectfully
Yours
John F. Fisk
