Dr Sir:
If I should organize a cavalry Battallion under the stateGuard Law in the counties of Marion, Washington, Taylor & Casey, would they be received? And would you commission me as Major, — upon the recommendation of course of these companies? — I do not doubt that a battallion could be easily raised, & with your permission, and assurance that they shall be properly Equipped, I will
attempt the organization of such a Battallion. Please let me hear from you soon on this subject.
In case you decline giving me permisison to raise a Battallion of Cavalry, can permisison be obtained to raise a company of Cavalry under the state guard Law, in my county- Marion? —
Yours truly
J. M. Fidler
Marion Co
