We have organized here a company of Home Guards, all loyal men, and true to the Constitution of the United States, and the Union. We are without arms, and are greatly deserious to procure them for the use, and benefit of our Company. We have been drilling for a month or two with success. We would like to get sixty stand of arms, and side arms for the officers as soon as possible We are not advised as to all the necessary steps to take to get these from the Military Board of Kentucky. You will greatly oblige us if you will at your earliest convenience put us in posession of all the necessary information so that we can get the arms as soon as possible. If necessary we can give you the best assurances of our political loyalty -- Lebanon is a place of some importance in this section, interior of the state and is without an armed military company. If you can let us have a cannon any way, write us how we can get it.
