Govenor of Kentucky
Dear Sir
I am requested by my friends & constituents to Wm Judy, Lemuel Bush & Chas Nelson to ask your excellency to grant the two former a pass to go to New York City and the latter to near Manassas Virginia. They are all union men & assure me that they are not leaving the state to evade military duty & if drafted they will return in time to perform the duty or [...]furnish substitutes The two former had bought before the order for the draft 250 head cattle which they wish to take to the N York market — The latter wishes & had before the draft arranged to visit his aged mother near Manassas, whom he has not seen for three years. and has
been for more than a year debarred from doing so by the [...] of armies. They are all three honest reliable men
Yrs resptly
Tho S Turner
