Dear Sir:

I wish to learn from you if a men who organize themselves into a military Company and elect their Officers are bound to go with that company, Or in other words, is there nothing binding before being muster-ed into service, If men are bound please send me marching orders, if not, please have my Company struck from the Roll of tenders, in the late call for Ten Thousand,

Very Respectfully
