You will please send us 50 muster out rolls (for payment) 31st of Dec.
Do you know yet if our battallion organization is good.
Jenkins and band said to be 3000, is near "Trouts Hill." 3 of our companies are recruiting near them. we need a general very much in this country, as we are on the extreme wings of two departments.
Yours truly
