your Excellency will please direct your Answer to D T Towles Greensburg Ky

I know W^m S Warren, he was with me in March 1864. in the state of Tennessee as assistant waggon-master, & remained with me as such for near three months and left me about the last of april or first of May — had he attempted to return, to the march court of the the Taylor circuit court I would not ^have^ permitted him to have done so but would have arrested him & compelled him to remain until the expiration of his term of service which expired or ended the latter part of april 1864
