Adam Earheart Esq

Anna

Dear Sir

Through pressure of business, my answer to your letter has been delayed until this time, for which I hope you will excuse me.

I regret that at present, it is impossible for me to call you into service. The State at the present moment is without arms and I cannot give you the authority which you desire.

With great respect for your noble and truly patriotic sentiments

I am very Respectfully
