Mount Vernon Ky July 13th 1861 B Magoffin Gov

Dear Sir at the august election 1860 we were elected Col and Lieut Col of the Enroledmalitia of Rockcastle county, shortly thereafter we send to the adjutant General our resignation as such, and have never taken upon ourselves the duties of said offices, but have heard nothing as to whether it was received. the offices does not suit us as we are attos at law and are generally absent from home when the law requires us to muster.

I think it would be well to have an election ordered for august next to fill said vacancys -- (or we here tender you our resignation again) we have plenty competent persons to fill the office and we would like to see the county organized

Your obdnt servants J G Hazlewood F. B. McClary
