If you desire to recruit a Battery you can have the permission- but before you can be commissioned you must first recruit the men when you will be commissioned and take rank according to the number of men you recruit. If you are confident you could recruit a Battery of course you would be commissioned Captain so soon as they were mustered into service-

Yours respy John Boyle Adjt Genl of Ky
