Washington- City.
Dear Sir,

Your communication to the Governor, of the 28th ult. has been referred to this office, to be replied to, by sending a Statement of the number of twelve months' troops raised by Kentucky, and mustered into the Federal Service. Please find such enclosed herewith- also a copy of a Special order from Hd. Qrs. Dept. of the Ohio- revoking the acceptance of your resignation, of which I telegraphed you notice last week. I trust you will succeed in establishing the claims of our twelve months' troops to pensions — as also in every other effort in which you may engage.

Respectfully
Your obt. Serv't.
John Boyle
Adjt. Gen of Ky
