Lieut. Col. B. P. Estes,
13th Ky. Vols. Inf.
London — East Tennessee,
Colonel,
Your favor to the Governor has been referred to this office. It is customary to hold elections for officers in new Regiments — resulting in the choice— usually, of those recruiting them. It is impossible for us to appoint otherwise. If any of your friends can procure your recommendation for an office in any Regiment, equal to that you now fill, we will be most happy to make the appointment.
Respectfully
Your ob't serv't
John Boyle
Adjt. Gen of Ky
