Sir

Your letter of the 11th inst addressed to Govr Bramlette, has been referred to this office for reply. I have the honor to state that Kentucky is not raising any colored regiments, consequently issuing no commissions. All the colored troops raised from Ky have been under the supervisions of the General Government.

Very Respectfully
John Boyle
Adjt Genl of Ky.
