To Adj^t Gen. D W Linsey
~~[...]~~ Frankfort

Sir, yours of March 16^th — in answer to a Note writen by me to Gov Bramlett is to hand

There was in the last sesion of our Legislature an act post authorising each County in the state to rais and organise a company for the benefeit and protection of the State — there is also a special order isued from the war department authoising a force to be raised in western Kentucky to be known as Gregorys comdg at least I am informed sutch is the case, though I have not as yet come up with the order but I suppose it all means about the same thing as one force will superceed the necesity of the other
if you will foward to me the authority for the County of Ballard I will proceed to rais and organize the troups for that county

Very Respectfully
Yours
