Unknown to Oliver P. Morton, November 14, 1862
Cincinnati, Ohio, November 14, 1862.
Gov. OLIVER P. Morton, Indianapolis, Ind. :
There are six companies Fourth Indiana Cavalry in Kentucky. When can other companies be ready for the field? There are also two companies of the Fifth Indiana Cavalry in Kentucky. If this regiment is not included in the order of General Halleck for troops to be sent to Memphis, I would like to have it, as cavalry is much needed in Kentucky. When can it be ready? Please ansver.
Major-General, Commanding.
