Louisville Ky Aug 22d 1865 Thomas E Bramlette Governor of Kentucky Sir

I have the honor herewith to inclose a letter from Brig Genl Brisbin. From which you will see that he can only re-enroll Ten of the Twenty Regiments of Colored Troops organized in the State of Kentucky The re-enrollment of the other Ten Regiments organized in Kentucky is, I think important but not as much so as that of Regiments organized in other States with Slaves from Kentucky, Such Regiments have not kept a record as to the former Owner or any other record by which the Slave can be identified. While in Kentucky there was a partial record made as to who the former Owner was. In my letter to you of the 28th June I had hoped to be able to carry out the re-enrollment but for want of means to defray travelling expenses I find I cannot but hope you will take such steps as will secure a record in the Adjutant General Office as to enable Owners to identify their Slaves

Respectfully Your Most Obt Servant. Jas P. Flint Agent
