Henderson Ky. Decr 14th 1865 Capt. J. W. Finnis Dear Sir

Please find enclosed herewith S. R. Nunn's letter 11th Inst. It speaks for its self as to the condition of things in Crittenden County.

I have ordered a special term of the Court to convene in Marion on 4th Monday in January for the trial of Criminal period and Chancery causes and have directed the sheriff to execute all proofs as speedily as possible; and think it important that Capt Dowell should have this company organised as soon as it can be done. Be good enough to see the Governor and request him to write to the Capt. and give him such information and instruction as he desires on the subject mentioned by him or stated in Mr Nunns letter, and endevour to have the organisation effected in the shortest time practicable. Please let me hear from you at this place at your earliest convenience.

Yours truly W. P. Fowler
