Sir
Yours of 15th inst. past recd – Maj. Lauman of Burlington has had authority to raise an independent regiment & is now calling for companies. It will probably be filled up from the south part of the state. There should be one regiment from the north – and I intend to get authority if I can to raise such a one. In which case you guys from Wright, Hamilton, Webster & Hardin can have a chance in.
Very Respectfully,
Your obedient servant
Wm Vandever
