To Adjt Gen. D W Linsey
[...] Frankfort
Sir, yours of
There was in the last sesion of our Legislature an act post authorising each County in the state to rais and organise a company for the benefeit and protection of the State — there is also a special order isued from the war department authorising a force to be raised in western Kentucky to be known as Gregorys comdg at least I am informed sutch is the case, though I have not as yet come up with the order but I suppose it all means about the same thing as one force will superceed the necesity of the other
if you will foward to me the authority for theCounty of Ballard I will proceed to rais and organize the troups for that county
Very Respectfully
Yours
