Grayson Co KyOctr 10^th 1864
To his Excellency Thos E. Bramlett Gov of Ky

Dear sir the good citizens of this county are pained to hear that the authorities at Frankfort have failed to arm and equpt the detailed Company ordered by you Through Gen Lindsey, and commanded by Capt Wm Bates, he and the Loyal people of this County have Spent much time and money in organizeing and attempting to get this company into active Service, It is much needed and would have been all the Security we wanted to keep out the lawless Scoundrels & guerrillas from amongst us

Capt Bates is a good citizen, and an efficient man and would have obeyed any and all orders from his superiors, he would have controlled his men and acted Solely for the good of his country and the safety and peace of our people

why the company was not armed is unknown to us it Surely is not because we are not to be trusted with arms for Grayson County is as Loyal a County as there is in Kentucky

Yours Respectfully Caleb Stinson
