10 the Patriotic People of East HardOick-
Greeting:
WHEREAS, We, the members Of Company
h, 18th Reg't Vermont Volunteers, hearing
that one Orrin b. Hall, private Of this com
pany has reached his home, and is employed
in incorporating the feelings Of the boys
Of said Company, and is moreover offering as
high as $500 for a substitute and also re-
porting that there are others in the Company
that would pay as high as 81 1900, and as
such report comes not from a reliable source,
we would respectfully caution the people Of
Hardwick and the public at large, not to put
any confidence whatever in said reports, for
they are utterly false, and will not apply to
one single case in the company.
And moreover we would respectfully re-
quest that the Sheriff of said town, at the
expiration of his fhrlough, would see that he
is started in due time for his Regiment and
Company, as we are very anxious to know
who he will point out that would pay even the
sum of ten cents. HARDwIoK BOYS.
P. S. We would have the people Of II.
understand that they are represented in the
18th Regiment by boys who know their duty,
and who would not return willingly until this
cursed rebellion is subdued, or the gallant
old 18th ceases to exist. il. BoYs.
