Gen Peter Dudley
Doct Jno B Peyton —

On this day a company of Home Guards was organized under the Act approved 24^th May 1861. I was elected Captain — and report 63 privates — together with the officers provided for under our State Military law^s — The number will in a few days be increased to 100 — who will be sworn in as provided for when added to the company. I enclose the certificate of the County Judge & my bond with the security required under the law; and desire to draw Rifled muskets if now to be had for the company. — Can the arms now be furnished? If so I will send immediately for them.

Respectfully
Tho E Bramlette
