June 1st 1861
Gov B Magoffin & Members of the Military Board } Gentleman

I am reliably informed that in addition to the Company commanded by Judge Bramlette other companies are forming in the County & an early response to the letter of enquiry is respectfully requested — Our County is determined to maintain Kentuckys honor at all hazards — We have the men brave gallant & true & all we need is arms to vindicate & sustain the integrity of our glorious old State — Please answer if we can get them — Judge Bramlettes position is sufficiently well known as a gallant Kentuckian & needs no endorsement from an humble individual as is

Your obdt Servant
Nat Gaither
