Louisville
To His Exy
J F Robinson Govr of Ky
Dear Sir
In pursuance of what I conceive to be the duty of any loyal man at a time like this. to keep lay before the proper authorities any information which may be of public interest I respectfully beg to inform you that Isaac Everett, who is recruiting a company in or near this city is & has been a violent secessionist that twice he went to the southern part of the state for the purpose of joining mMorgan & onhislast was brought back by his relations, At the last attempt he was brought back on Saturday
night & on Monday morning had a recruiting commission, For the truth of this you can refer to the father of the young man Isaac Everett Sr, I can produce proper evidence if necessary,
I have reason to believe that an application will be made to commission Turner Anderson of Mead Co Ky in the 17th Ky Mr T- A, is & has been a secessionist from the beginning I know it is impossible for the appointing power to know of the standing of any applicant & conceive it to be the duty of any loyal man to give proper information in regard to applicants who are unworthy of trust.
I am Dep Marshal of the L Chancery Court & am ready to stand to the information
I give at any time & place required. I refer you to Hon J Speed, N Wolf, B Ballard & the Union men of the city generally
Very Respectfully
N B. Gantt
