HEADQUARTERS Co. C.,
5th REGT., KENTUCKY VOL., C.S.A.
In the Field, February, 1861.
MEN OF Co. C.,
COMPANY: You are ordered to muster at Old Fort Wayne in Detroit for Battalion Drill mid-April. We will garrison the barracks, so tents will not be necessary. Your weapons and accoutrements should be in fine working order. We expect a company powder ration to happen prior to drill. Capt. Adams proposes a meeting at his plantation some time in March where munitions may be created. More details to follow.
For God and the South.
Respectfully,
Zachariah L. Springer,
1st Sergeant
