Hon J. F. Robinson
Governor of Kentucky
Sir
At the time of Thomas Stephens arrest he was a Corporal in My Company and one of the most efficient and worthy Non Commissioned officers I had — a good soldier in every respect. Always obeying orders to the very letter He exerted himself more and had a greater influence in keeping a good disiplin in the Company than any Non Commission officer of the Company He ought to have been a Seargent instead of Corporal
Yours Very Respectfuly
W Blood Late Capt Co "B" Louisville Provo Guard
