Latonia Springs Kenton Co
Kentucky. Aug 28^th 1862
To his Excellency James F Robinson
Governor of Kentucky,
Dear Sir

I see by the papers, that our Legislature has passed a Law, calling out the State Militia for three months for the purpose of guarding railroads and bridges in Ky

If you will authorize me to do so, I can raise a company of volunteers for that purpose, and probably three or four. Does the State, propose to clothe these men?

Please let me know immediately if I can raise the men, for time is precious, As to my capacity, I beg leave to refer you to Adjt Genl J W Finnell, Brig Genl Green Clay Smith, or the Hon J F Fisk, all of whom know me well
I have had some experience, having been four months in the Army in Central and Eastern Virginia

Hoping for a favorable answer
I am respectfully
Your most obedient servt
William W. Mosher

Wm. W. Mosher
Covington

Proposing to raise 3 mo men to guard R Road
