Head Quarters 15 Regt Ky Vols In Camp Oct 9th. 1862 Hon James, F, Robinson Govenor of Kentucky Sir;

In consideration of the unanimous and strongly expressed wishes of the officers of this Regt who took part in the late battle of Chaplin Hills and of the very gallant conduct on that occasion of Capts Joseph. R. Snider Co "B" and Henry F Kalfus Co "D," I earnestly recommend that the former be commissioned as Lieut Col and the latter as Major of the Regt, and urge that commissions be immediately forwarded to them to date from Oct 9. 1862, and withdraw any other recommendation made by me, and advise that if any other appointments have been made, they be immediately cancelled.

I am very Respectfully Your obt Servt Curran Pope Col Comdg 15 Ky Vols
