March 14th 5 Col. Chas D. Pennebaker State Agent Washington D. C Colonel.

I have the honor to request that you have copied for this Dept the original muster in roll of Maj Barnes battalion 16th Ky Cavl. They were mustered in by Lt McIver at Paducah Ky without the consent of the Governor, as they were intended to fill the depleted ranks of the 12th Ky Cavl were without proper authority mustered as the 10th. The War Dept. as soon as notified of the facts revoked the muster and ordered their consolidation with the 12th. But in the mean time one battalion had been engaged in several engagements and lost a number of their men. And in consideration of this fact the Governor requested that Lt McIvers muster be accepted, changing it however from the 16th to the 12th,

457 which was acceded to, as per letter of Maj Vincent to Maj Sidell dated July 1s 1864. These men are now with the 12th Cavl and known as companies "I" "K" "L" & "M".
