Govr Bramlette.

You know that I belong to the 13th Ky. Vol. Inft. the time of said Reg. will be out I believe the 2nd day of October next. I am anxious to go into the 12 months service for the defense of the State, and believe that I could raise a company for that purpose in a short time the object of this is to know whether I could be detached from the U. S. service, to go into the service indicated, and if so, whether I can obtain from you commission to recruit

Please give me at your earliest convenience the desired information.

Yours Respectfully,
Wm J. Atkins
