To His Excelancy John J. Pettus,

Dear Sir

I have been engaged for the last week in trying to raise a volunteer company to serve in the army of the Confederacy for twelve months, the company to arm themselves. I have procured the names of about seventy men, mostly the best of men for the army, and have appointed the 5^th day of this month to hold an election for company officers Will we be received? If so please appoint some one to muster us into service imediately., I would respect-fully suggest the name of Maj. M. R. Clark of this County as a suitable person to do it. I would like, if possible to hear from you by the day of our election.

Your humble sev^t,,

K. R. Webb
