UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL

Head-Quarters Kentucky Volunteers, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, Frankfort, July 31st, 1864. His Excellency Tho. E. Bramlette Governor of Kentucky Frankfort. Governor,

I have the honor to tender herewith my resignation as Adjustant General of Kentucky. Private reasons -- already submitted to you, and sanctioned by your approval -- induce my withdrawal from the confidential position to which your kindness called me.

In this last official act, permit me to express my thanks for the invariable kindness and friendship with which I have ever been treated.

Trusting that you may reap the rewards merited by a high sense of duty, rigidly pursued, and that you may shortly be the happy instrument of announcing a successful peace to our distracted State,

I have the honor -- Governor, to remain Your obedient servant John Boyle
