Bryant Smith another Colored man of this place I am informed has received permission to raise a Company. Two companies can be raised almost immediately <hr /> in this and adjoining Counties. I recommend Stephen Price as more suitable to get up and command a military Company than any Colored man I ever knew. He awaits anxiously the answer to this. If you authorize him to raise a company, please send instructions---and where to rendezvous---how to get there, and when to go. I dont think it will take him four days after he gets authority Very Respectfully Your obd't. serv't. John Olney. <hr /> Olney John Shawneetown Ills Jany 1864.
