GOV. A. NASH TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
To the Honorable the General Assembly.

Gentlemen:—I have the honor to lay before you a letter I have received from Colonel Malmady on the subject of making our light horse in future more serviceable. I beg leave to recommend this subject to your serious consideration as being in our present circumstances of the utmost importance, and I shall only add that Colonel Malmady, who wishes to have a command in your cavalry, is an officer of great experience and of the most approve bravery, and has on all occasions manifested the greatest attachment to our virtuous cause.

A. NASH.
