Dear Sir my time of Service having expired, and the border counties of this State being run over to a great extent by Guerrilas, rendering it unsafe for discharged Soldiers to go to their homes in peace — I feel it the duty of Some one to raise a company for the protection of this country — therefore if you will give me the authority to raise a company for the protection of the border counties for Twelve months to Receive the Same pay, clothing and Rations, that united States troops receive but and to be subject to your orders, under the present cirucmstances I think I can raise a company without much trouble you will please let me hear from you as soon as you can. I remain yours very respectfully
