236 May 6th 4 Maj W. H. Sidell- U.S.A. A. A. Pro. Mar. General. Louisville Ky. Major,

Your communication to the Governor, has been referred to this office. By looking at Gen. orders No 3- from these Head Quarters -- on the subject of raising the 10.000 six months troops lately authorized by the War Dept, you will perceive the intention is to commission only those who recruit the men. We will endeavor to raise maximum companies, which will enable each to be mustered- at least. The Governor is pleased with your suggestions, and had determined, already, to carry the most of them out. We will use the most effective means in our power, to render the attempt successful, and wish your cooperation. You shall be advised of all steps taken.

Truly your obt sevt. John Boyle Adjt. Gen.
