326 May 13th 4 Col. R. E Jeter Campbellsville Ky Colonel

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th inst. The Governor has strong hopes of getting men who enlist in the 6 months service relieved from the draft. However if he does not succeed, and they are drafted they will be allowed to serve in the 6 months organization they join, and credited with the time, for which they are drafted. I send you per mail some enlistment papers. I hope you will succeed in getting a battalion from your county. As the time allowed for raising these 10.000 troops is short, it requires prompt and immediate action.

Very Respectfully John Boyle Adjt Genl of Ky
