Written as Governor of Kentucky on executive stationery. Writes to Union Brigadier General Orme to request the release of a Confederate soldier interned at Camp Douglas in Chicago, Illinois. Says that the Confederate soldier, Willie Long, had been drafted into the Confederate army and captured, but his family was pro-Union. His father, "a true man to the government" had been captured by Confederates at Little Rock and then released. Asks that Willie Long be allowed to see his brother Ambrose B. Long. Bramlette forwards the request (not present) of Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton, that the soldier take the oath of allegiance.
