Letter stating that he had arrived with his command at Paducah on February 20 without accident or adventure, that he was now encamped in the very best location in Paducah, that he had not as yet received arms for his men and the boys were beginning to feel uneasy for want of them in the hot bed of secessionism, that the field and staff of the 48th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry had not yet been paid nor had they received their commissions, which in point of rank, notwithstanding the number of regiments which he had organized for the war, was a source of regret, and that nonetheless, they would convince Buckingham and the Governor that Ohio would never have cause to blush for the 48th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry; requesting the appointment of Isaac L. Tice of Cincinnati as 1st Lieutenant in Company I in place of Lieutenant [William E.] Breman assigned to the Quartermastership of the 48th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the appointment of Robert T. Coverdale of Cincinnati as 2nd Lieutenant in said company, and that their appointments and commissions be forwarded to him; and stating that Tice and Coverdale were now with the regiment and acting in the stated capacities, that Tice was one of the best drilled men in the regiment, that Tice's appointment ought to be dated back to February 1, as he had been acting in said capacity since that time and drilling the company, that prior to that time, Tice was Sergeant Major of the regiment, that Coverdale was one of the 2nd Lieutenants appointed by Buckingham on October 7, 1861, to recruit for the regiment, that Coverdale recruited 28 men and had been working for the regiment ever since, that he thought until recently that Coverdale's original recruiting appointment was sufficient for him to assign Coverdale to a command in a company, that as a matter of justice, he asked that Coverdale's appointment and muster date back to October 7, 1861, that he now occupied the splendid residence of General [Lloyd] Tilghman, the rebel chief, as a hospital for his sick and the mansion of another rebel runaway for his headquarters, that they were all happy and ready to fight the enemy of their government, that the weather was wet, and that there were over 20,000 troops at Paducah.

Kyle, as Surgeon of the same, from October 3, 1861, that Kyle claimed pay from August 18, 1861, when he asserted he was appointed Surgeon of the 17th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry (three months' service), that Kyle exhibited his orders which placed him on duty with General [William S.] Rosecrans in September 1861, and other papers clearly showing that he was on duty prior to his assignment to the 65th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that he could not pay Kyle unless some relation to a regiment in service was shown, that Kyle claimed August 17, 1861, that he paid the 17th and also up to October 31, 1861, that upon referring to the regiment's rolls, he found that William L. Schenck was down for Surgeon from October 1, 1861, that he told Kyle he would pay him if he could find that his date of enrollment was August 17, 1861, that he presumed Kyle would have to exhibit some authority from Buckingham's office for his record from August 18 to October 3, 1861, that he had paid Alexander Miller as Captain in the 58th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry at two different times, that the first time was when he was aware there was no such regiment in the field, that Miller exhibited his appointment under the hand of Governor William Dennison, a special order of Adjutant General L[orenzo] Thomas assigning him to duty with General George H. Thomas in Kentucky, and General George H. Thomas' order appointing him ordnance officer of the brigade, that now he saw that a 58th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry was in the field, that he would be pleased to know whether Miller was recognized and if not, whether the irregularity might in some way be cured, that he supposed his accounts would perhaps pass, that he did not feel it right in November 1861, to refuse to pay such an efficient officer as Miller under the circumstances, and that now, if the 58th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry was in the field and Miller not recognized, it might be more prudent to decline to pay him.
