Camp Chase. Ohio Feb 18th 1863 To his Excellency James F Robinson Gov. of Ky Dear Sir

I was commissioned by you as 1st Lieut 11th Reg Ky Cav on the 4th day of September 1862, on the 7th day of December last, I lost my commission at Hartsville, Tennessee, during the engagement there between our Troops and the confederates, I would be thankful to you if you will cause to be issued to me another commission in its stead. Gov. I was over one month recruiting my company I commenced in the last of July and had my company at Louisville by the 2ond of September I think that I ought to be paid for my services. I think that my commission should be dated at the commencement of my services, say the 1st day of August 1862. I have never had any pay yet from Uncle Sam. and if I had the commission dated back I could receive

pay on the commission from its date. viz 1st of Aug 1862 -- I was captured paroled and have been exchanged I supposed will soon be sent to the field.

With respect your Obedient Servt Robert Terrill 1st Lieut Co E 11th Ky Cav
