Honorable E. M. STANTON,

Secretary of War:

Safely at home. As agreed in our interview of Sunday, I have now to request: First, that your order the advance pay and bounty to recruits, after the 15th of September, for new regiments then raising; second, that your order the Second Ohio Cavalry, now in Kansas, home, to be remounted and sent into Kentucky for service; third, that you appoint Dr. L. C. Brown post surgeon at Camp Chase, or otherwise employ him with the rank and pay of a full surgeon; fourth, that you authorize me to accept the services of the drafted troops as volunteers for one year, allowing the usual pay and bounty; fifth, that you authorize the re-enlisting for three years of our late three-months" regiments.

General BUCKINGHAM:

DAVID TOD,

Governor of Ohio.
