Your communication of the 7th inst to his Excellency Govr Bramlette, inclosing letter from Capt Beckham, has been referred to me for reply. I have the honor to state that commissions are only issued upon the recommendation of the commanding officers of regiments. If David C Goode can obtain the recommendation of Col A M Stout, to fill any vacancy in his regiment, the commission will be immediately issued as soon as said recommendation is filed in this office. We have no authority to grant an enlisted man power to recruit.

Very Respectfully John Boyle Adjt Genl of Ky
