Monticello Ky April 13, 1865 Governor,

Dear Sir, In the month of Novbr 1863 a rebel Col by the name of Hughes with Champ Ferguson and about one hundred men came into Monticello and among other things, took my horse. Saddle and bridle. and left a worn out horse that I afterwards discovered was branded U, S, When on my way to Frankfort about the first Dec, there after I stated the case to Genl. T. T. Garrard then commanding at Somerset, and he gave me an Order, or certificate of my right to sd horse, I sold the horse to my brother Sherman E Tuttle and gave him the paper given me by Genl Garrard, A few weeks since a scamp by the name of Burruss that had joined Capt Ingram's Company of Bridgewater's Command, came down and took the horse from my brother and ^they^ refuse to give him up.

This man Burruss is a cousin of Capt Ingram, was in Frankfort when I went there last winter under the name of Goldsmith and I understood claimed to be one of your secret police, My own

opinion is, from what I have seen of him is that thathe is under the wrong commander and in the wrong locality and that he would serve the State much better if he was placed in the city of Frankfort under the command of H. I. Todd,

I enclose a Copy of the paper from Genl Garrard, I do not know who to apply to for redress but if I am wrong in applying to you I will plead old frienship as my apology

Very Truly H. W. Tuttle

To Gov T. E, Bramlette
