LancasterKy
July 4th 1861.
Gentlemen,

Capt Robert Collier of the Buckeye Precinct in our County desires arms for a cavalry ^company^ There is no company in Capt Colliers district armed.

They have companies armed in the Bryantsville^& Lancaster^ districts & I learn that companies for each of said districts intend applying for arms.

I think according to the spirit of the law passed last winter Capt Colliers company should be preferred to either of the other companies.

Capt Collier will make affidavit to the foregoing facts if necessary.

Your Respectfully
J Burdett

To
Ky Military Board.

Capt. Robinson (Secession)
