My Dear Governor

My friends and fellow county men Captn M Oldham and R Q Sparks work to obtain authority to raise a Regiment in the military force you propose to organize.

If you commission these gentlemen I am sure they will use every exertion to recruit their Regiment and will handle it ably when raised --

Captn Oldham served in our friend Col^y Jacob,s Regiment and will be endorsed by him as, in every respect competent and worthy -- M^r Sparks has frequently been employed by the Gov^t -- often in a military capactiy, and has rendered the Union cause as efficent aid as any man in the county

He is a gentleman of fine intelligence -- as brave and loyal as any man and of great energy of character

If you will commission them I am convinced they
will render the country important service

Very Truly
Your friend
R N Mallory
