Dr Sir.
Yesterday's mail brought me a commission from His Excellency, Gov. Bramlette, as Col of the 40th Regt of Kentucky Militia, together with a Letter from yourself. For this mark of His Excellency's Confidence, I cannot but feel deeply sensible. Whether my health, very much impaired by my protracted imprisonment of something over six months in the Rebel prisons will allow me to perform any duties assigned me, rigorously, remains to be seen. Still whatever I can do, I will endeavor to perform.
Enclosed please find my oath.
very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
Geo C Hallet
