Stanton
Thos E. Bramlette Gov. of Ky.
Dear Sir
We take the privelege of addressing afew lines, to you in regard to the recruiting a Company of Enrolled Militia for our County. It does Seem fit and proper to give this Country an oppurtunity of raising a Company for ^its^ defense of this There is no section in Ky where troops are needed more, than in this country-, Powell CoSituated as it is in the very midst of the Mountains, infested with rogues and geurrillas ever since the war Commenced — Sent her sons to the field with out Stint, never suffered herself to be drafted — should have some of the priveleges bestowed upon more fortunate counties — I flatter myself having more than three years experience in the Federal Service as Capt. ^of the 24th Vofl- Inf-^ that I can render yet some service to my native state — I have learned that an order has been issued to raise Companies in other Counties: If such be the fact I hope I will be advised of the fact and authority given me to recruit a Company &c
Yours Respectfully
Green V Hall
Stanton, Powell county.
Hall, Capt. Green V.
(To Govener.)
Desires to recruit a Co. of active militia in Powell county, as it is badly needed — the county being situated in the mountains, and infested with rogues and guerillas.
