Louisville Ky. 11 Sept 1862

I certify on honor that Colin G. Gordon was acting as wagon master for the 28 Regiment Of Ky volunteers from the 3d day of January 1862 until the 7th day of April 1862. That the services of Mr. Gordon were faithfully rendered for the Government He had raised for the Regiment forty Eight men paid as recruits by Ricd Menifee, and upon the Consolidation of the Regiment he was thrown out & his men were placed in other Companies.

Thus- believing that there was to be a wagon master for the regiment I promised to Mr. Gordon that appointment he and I both believing it had to be filled. Accordingly when the wagons were furnished he was placed in charge of them and the teams and he had a great trouble and much exposure with the unbroken mules in verry bad weather -- His services were valuable to the Regiment and were faithfully rendered. It was our impression that the salary was forty Dollars per month
