OFFICE LOUISVILLE CITY RAILWAY COMPANY,

Louisville, Ky., 23^d Aug 1864.
Gov Thos E Bramlette
Executive Office
Frankfort Ky
Dear Governor

Knowing as I do your opinion that Kentuckians ought to command Kentuckians, I write to say that Capt Slater of 11th Ky Cavalry promoted to Major in that Regiment is an Indianean and not a Kentuckian — Capt Mangan, of this city, of the 11^th Ky Cavalry is one of the best officers in the service. Col Adams who commanded the Brigade regards him as equal to any man known to him for coolness, courage & [Will]. I verily believe the Commission to the Indianean should be revoked and Mangan appointed. I am so averse to see men of other states command our troops that I am [induced] to write you on subject There is no doubt we have plenty of

competent men to command our own regiments.

Hartily & Truly
Yr Friend

Boyle J. T.

To Governor:

Stating that Capt. Slater of 11^th Ky. Cav. recently made Maj. same Reg't. is an Indianian. Thinks Kentuckians should command Kentuckians. Recommends Capt. Mangan, 11^th Ky. Cav'y as a No. 1. officer and one in every way worthy of the Majority. Thinks Slater's comⁿ should be revoked and Mangam com^nd in his stead.
