Our mutual friend Mr Berchett informs me that when the State Troops leave his sexion of the County that it will be imposible to enforce civil law, and in addition the lives of some of the best Citizens will be in great danger, from outlaws. I, have recently visited that sexion of the County and am fully satisfied if the people are not protected that many of them will be compelled to leave the County, allow me to suggest the propriety of ^Your^ stationing twenty five or thirty good & true men, at Some Cintral point with orders to scout and protect the Citizens of Clinton Waine & Cumberland Countyies (over)

and afford assistance to the Sheriffs and other civil officers, in arresting outlaws, I, hope youit will be in your power, to comply with the wishes, of your Friends,

very Respectfully E, H, Hobson

Louisville, Oct. 19/65.
