Capt. John W. Groom
Jamestown— Ky
Captain,
Your communication to the Governor has been referred to this Department, and I answer that no authority exists to establish Independent Companies. The Governor thinks that you had better attach your company to some new Twelve months Regiment as the 37th Mounted Infantry— now recruiting at Lebanon. Your whole section of country will be under the immediate command of Gen. Hobson, and he will give you ample protection.
Respectfully,
Your obt servt
John Boyle
Adjt. Gen of Ky
