Dear Sir
I suppose there will be application made to the Commission for the distribution of guns for a company that was said to be organized in Stanton Powell County A C— Daniel. Capt. & I am sorry to say a son of mine S. G Jackson 1,st Lieutenant 2/3 of the Company are rank secessionist & had a secession flag waiving the day the Company was raised. the company is of the worst kind of men as to Character except a few. I think they took no oath but subscribed to a paper & which they will pay no regard. I think the Certificate
of the County Judge is not according to law from what I have heard I hope they will get no arms
Your Truly &P
