MTo His Excellency
Gov. Bramlette
Dr Sir:
Mr Jas J. Gilmore one of our citizens, and who withal is truly loyal, desires to have shipped to him here from New York some fire arms, ammunition & other things belonging to his line of business. He is surviving partner of the late firm of Dickson & Gilmore, who have been carrying on the Gun Making business and Keeping a gun store in this City for a number of years past. He is informed, by letter from New York, (which he encloses herewith) that the goods cannot be shipped on a Military order, which he has obtained, but that a permit must be obtained from your Excellency.
In his behalf I respectfully ask that you will have the Kindness to grant him such a permit, and enclose it ^to his address^ as soon as your convenience will permit, together with his New York letter, which he desires to file among his papers.
Yours very truly
Wm Kaye, Mayer
