Head Quarters 40th Regt. Ky Militia
Hickman Ky
General D. W. Lindsey
Inspector General of Kentucky.
General.
Immediately upon the receipt of the return of the Election for Major of the 2d Bat. of my Regiment, for correction, upon its recommitment from your office. I conceived it to be the proper way, to order another election. This I did at once, as you will perceive from a Copy of the Order, and herewith inclosed.
After waiting a whole week, for the returns, none have come to hand; but I am informed, that no election was held. Under the circumstances therefore, I feel justified in suggesting, that an appointment be immediately made by His Excellency, the Governor. If I may be permitted to do so, I respectfully recommend W Francis Buckner Esq, as a gentleman fully competent for the office. A Civil Engineer by profession, an original, consistent and devoted friend of the Union, he is one of the few men, who in the darkest days of rebel tyranny in this region, maintained the integrity of his position, and preserved his faith unshaken
With great respect
I have the honor to be
Your Obt Servt
G. C Hallet
Col. Comdg
