Dr. Sir:
I have endeavored to comply with your Excellency's command in raising the number of Fifty able-bodied men to turn out in the Southern Expedition by Volunteers and Drafts, with a copy of their names enclosed, which you will receive by the hands of Capt. Jarvis, and also I have given express orders to the several Captains of this County to send with the Militia those nine-months' men on furlough, and the men that have returned from the Southern expedition without a discharge.
