Madam,

Your favor of the 20^th [...] referred by his Excellency- the Governor- to this Department with instructions.

It is an invariable rule to have the recommendation of a Colonel- before commissions issue to fill vacancies in his Regiment -- filed in this office. You can doubtless procure such for your son- whom we doubt not, is worthy of promotion. Did we vary from this inflexible custom- it would be in his case.

If you make application to some colonel- you wil doubtless receive a letter recommending your son to some position in his regiment -- which you can forward to this office, and he shall be commissioned at once

Respectfully
Your obt Serv't
John Boyle
Adjt. Genl of Ky.
