Dear Sir

I am authorized to raise a Company of Mounted Rangers, for the war, Several men who were down on my lists, were drawn from the Militia as "Minute Men" a day or two since. The Col. of Militia says they or any others who were so drawn (under recent order from Genl. Tupper) may be transfered to my Company. I write to ask if it can be done. You will confer a great favor by giving me an early answer

very Respectfully
your obt servt
