Sir.

I have the honor to request information as to whether or not special authority has been granted Lt Col Saml Johnson formerly of the 52d Ky Infty, and Col H. T. Burge formerly of the 48th Ky Infty, to raise each a regiment. These two regiments the 48th and 52d have been mustered out of service. Each have recruited some three or four hundred men, and made application to me for commissions. If authority has not been granted them, I respectfully request orders to consolidate the men they have recruited into a regiment, and have them mustered into service at once. This I deem but an act of justice to the men they have enlisted. They enlisted as cavalry for one year.

Very RespectfullyThos E Bramlette Gov of Ky
