Governor

Having been parolled as a prisoner of war some days since and learning that eventually the officers and men from Kentucky will probably be permitted to return at least to settle their business affairs by the U S Government. I respectfully request to know, whether in the event of that permission being obtained there will be any objections on the part of the State Authorities of Kentucky. I shall wait here to ascertain these points, will you permit me to trespass upon your Courtesy so far as to write me information on the Subject
