Your "Poster" to accelerate volunteering &c. has been submitted to the Governor and meets his approval. We therefore, accept your suggestion to send us a thousand, and will use them to the best advantage.

I will send you a copy of the letter addressed to the various Commanding Generals of Departments in which Kentucky troops are serving — to which I have added copies of the letters from the Pro. Mar. General- as per your late enclosure to the Governor.

Respectfully
Your obt serv't
