Dear Sir
In answer to your favor of the 16th instant I cannot recieve your regiment as a regiment. I am authorized only to receive companys for the organization of regiments and if your regiment is reported by companies they will be recieved and your claims for the colonelcy (if advanced by the officers) shall be duly considered.
I cannot accept you as an independent Regiment --
Very respectfully
Richard Yates Govr
