Wm. M. McCallen,
Battery "C" Indpt Pa. Vol. A.
Camp Barry. D. C
Sir

Your communication of the 30th ult addressed to his Excellency Governor Bramlette, has been referred to this office for reply. We would do all in our power to get you transferred to the 52d Ky Infty, if such transfer were not inconsistent with the rules of the War Department. It is impossible for a person to get transferred from a 3 year regiment or battery to a regiment of a shorter term of service, as the 52d Ky is, only being elisted for one year. The attending circumstances connected with your application are plausible and would meet success were it not for the above named reasons. —

Very Respectfully
John Boyle
Adj Genl of Ky
