Henry M. Davis
Army Medical Purveyor's Office.
Louisville Ky.
Sir.

His Excellency- Gov. Bramlette, has referred your letter of the 21st inst. to this office. You are hereby authorized to recruit troops for six months service. Should you begin in Louisville, you must call on Col. J. W. Scott- Cor. 2nd and Walnut — and get full instructions. General Orders No 3- a copy of which is enclosed- is the only one issued on this subject. Recruiting for this short service, is on the same footing, as that for longer terms. Blanks &c. may be obtained from Col. Scott. You have authority to muster into state Service.

Respectfully
Your obt servt.
John Boyle
Adjt. Gen. of Ky.
