Sir:

The Secretary of War directs me to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 10th instant, recommending that those counties of your State, which are now within Major Generals Hurlburt's command, may, be added to the Department of Ohio, and to state, in reply, that he does not deem it expedient, at this time, to make the change suggested by you.

I have the honor to be, Sir,
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
Ed, R, S, Canby
Brig Genl A. A. G.

His Excellency
Thomas E. Bramlette,
Governor of Kentucky,
Frankfort,
Kentucky.
