James H. Holloway Esq
Henderson. Ky
Sir

Your communication of the 5th inst to his Excellency the Governor, has been referred to me for reply. I have the honor to inclose herein a copy of General Orders No 3 issued from these Hd qrs authorizing the enlistment of 10.000. six months troops. We have no authority to raise troops for any particular localities, but have no doubt but if you could succeed in raising a regiment or battalion in your region, that after organization and muster they would be permitted to operate in the section where they are acquainted with the country —

Very Respectfully
John Boyle
Adjt Genl of Ky
