Monroe Co Ky.
Colonel.

Your letter of the 11th inst to his Excellency Govr Bramlette, has been referred to this office for reply. The Secretary of War has called on Ky for 10 000 men to serve for six months. They are to ^be^ mustered into the U S service, and to be armed, clothed and subsisted, by the Government. They are to take the place of those veterans now among us guarding different posts, whose services are wanted at the front. I inclose for your information General Orders No 3 issued from these Hd qrs. As the time for raising these troops is very limited, it will require prompt and immediate action to insure success.

Very Respectfully John Boyle. Adjt Genl Ky.
