Your favor of the 10th inst. has been received, and shown the Governor. The Secretary was of War has telegraphed the governor that no new regiments will be authorized and he is therefore compelled to decline organizing any new commands.

But you have authority to recruit your Regiment up to the Maximum number and this will require some hundreds. If you conclude to do this -- report the fact to me.

Respectfully Your obt Servt. John Boyle Adjt. Gen. of Ky.
