(prob. 1861) Copy We concur in the opinion that the United States should at an early day take pofsefsion of prominent points, in Kentucky, such as Louisville, Covington, Newport, Columbus, [illegible] and the Rail Roads leading from the same South. If Col. Anderson or others, who are loyal to the Government, can raise regiments of loyal men in Kentucky, to occupy these points, in the first instance, and the Government has the means of arming them, it would be advisable to have them thus occupied. If Kentuckians cannot be found for this purpose, United States Regulars would be the next best for the purpose; but in our opinion they should be occupied at an early day; if it has to be done by the Volunteers from adjoining States. We believe this course will save Kentucky to the Union, otherwise that in the end the secefsionists will control her. If these suggestions are approved Major Genl. McClellan should at once be advised, and clothed with the necefsary authority. It <hr /> is important that the plan of the Campaign in the West, should be fixed upon, and that the Major General of the division should be furnished the means and be instructed to shape the military movements of his Department, so as to carry it into effect at the earliest period. We also think that the force called out in Major General McClellan's Department should be materially increased. Before any movement South takes place, the loyalty of Kentucky should be secured, which can be done this simmer before troops are moved to more Southern States. To the extend of the appropriations made by the Legislatures of the several States represented by the undersigned, in aid of the General Government, we desire it to be understood these appropriations will be promptly available for the uses of the Government as its necefsities if any shall require. And to sustain the Government in the vigorous prosecution of the War further aid may be relied upon from our respective States if <hr /> if required. Authority ought also to be given to occupy fronts in Tennefsee and Mifsouri. /Signed/ W. Dennison /Signed/ Richd. Yates /Signed/ O. P.
