Lt Col. J H Ward
27th Ky Infty
Louisville Ky.
Colonel.

Your communication of the 10th inst to his Excellency Govr Bramlette has been referred to this office for reply. I am instructed to state, that special recommendations have been given in one or two instances where regiments were nearly or quite full and at the front and required the immediate presence of the commanding officer. Whilst his Excellency appreciates your military conduct as worthy the position to which you have been commissioned, the regulations would not justify your muster until your regiment is full or nearly so at least.

Very Respectfully
John Boyle
