Head-Quarters Military Commander, Louisville.
Louisville, Ky., 34
To his Excellency
Gov Bramlett
Sir
I have the honor to recommend Mr John Spaulding, formerly Capt of Co "G" 15th Regt Ky Vol Inf, to you as a deserving applicant for a position as secret policeman or detective. Capt S. has during the time he was connected with the 15th Ky shown himself to be a trusty & efficient officer, and was compelled to resign on account of an injury received while in service. His wound is sufficiently well to permit him to perform the above service, but hinders him from becoming a veteran.
I am
Very Respectfully
Your. Obdt Svt
S D Bruce Col
20th Ky Vol Inft
Military Commander
