State of Kentucky.
dear Sir—In answer to yours of the 9th inst., as to records of Confederate soldiers of Kentucky, allow me to refer you to General Marcus J. Wright, Washington, D. C. He has in charge the war papers of the Confederacy, and he, if anybody, can give the desired information.
Respectfully,
Ed. Porter Thompson, Private Secretary to Governor.
P. S.—I can, however, answer as to the 6th, 7th, and 8th.
No provision whatever is made by the State for her Confederate soldiers.
E. P. T.
