Capt. James Thompson — U. S. A.
Covington, Ky,
Captain,

In answer to your your communication of the 22nd inst. I am instructed to say that there are four batteries in the field of light artillery, but that two of them are for one year's service only, and the Governor thinks it would be inexpedient to attempt organizing a regiment as your suggest.

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