Col. Ira Stout.
Troy— Indiana,
Colonel,

Your favor to the Governor of the 2nd inst. has been referred to this office, and I hasten to reply that no authority exists for such appointment as you ask. While it might be beneficial to have such agent— collecting and preserving Government property — No orders from the War Department — no law of this State, will justify us in issuing such commisions

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