able bodied men for the defence OF the City Gan they
not be ha6s have only two negro men, both Of whom
are under orders In my judgment 1000 could be had
at once if our Citizens Of the necessity which
exists Our worthy Mayor is doing all in his power to
respectfully enquire if the authority to compel the white
male citizens to engage in the work of throwing up for
tfcaiiOns around City does not exist somewhere
do not believe the enemy can reach our City, but in
this may be mistaken when it will be too late to re-
trieve an error which may cost US thousands Of val
liable lives and hundreds OF thousands Of dolirs.
