If the following meets your approbation please advise me.

On June First (1^st) I can consolidate all six months volunteers into regiments. The residue of ten thousand men I will fill up with three months militia- whose service our laws authorize me to Enforce- when their term expires I will replace them with others- making the full six months service. They should be mustered into U S service. The draft has crippled recruiting, and we may be unable to get enough volunteers soon enough for you.

Tho E Bramlette Gov of Ky
