Head Qrts 1st Regt Ky Vol Inftry
1st Brigade — 1st Div — 4" A. C — D. C —
Governor —
I have the honor to address you again upon a subject which I think is materially to the interest of our Regiment, and the State.
I have made the effort to reenlist my men, but not with the success I should desire, and am confident I will not be able to reenlist them as Infantry. If you could get an order issued allowing the 1st Ky Reg'mt to reenlist as "Mounted Infantry" I am almost sure I can get three-fourths, if not ^the^ entire organization to again enter the service. —
Will you please urge this matter and give me an early reply. — I am anxious for the credit of the state, and the 1st Ky Regmt that at the expiration of their term of service, the organization be not broken up —
I am very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
To/His Excellency
Thos E. Bramlette, Gov
Commonwealth of Ky
