Gov John. J. Pettus

Dear sir

I have written you several letters, in regard to you Receiving my Company. W. C. Falkner Guards, my object in writing now is to know if you will receive the Company in place of the Newalbany Grays as we have armed ourselves with good Double barrel shot guns, we are willing to go into service for 12 months with Double barrel Shot Guns. What we wish to know is if you will Receive us. and if we are ordered out if you wil furnish the Camp Equipage, I have written you so many letters that I am fearfull you may think it not worth while to pay any futher attention to them, I promise you I will not write any more after this one, and I hope you will be so kind as to answer this on Receipt and let us finally know our Doom

Yours Respectfully
Robert, J, Hill
