Louisville Friday Night
August 29th 62
Gov Robinson,

I have reliable information that Morgan was at Glasgow to-day with 2000 Cavalry & 2 or 3 pieces of artillery- He will doubtless attack our forces [...] & attempt to Destroy Green River bridge, unless we have sufficient force to repulse the enemy, in that event he may turn his course toward Lebanon, & try to advance towards the Capitol- I suggest that every effort be made to be in the best state of defense — - It would be disastrous to us should he take Frankfort

I am truly
Your friend
G. T. Wood
