Dear Coll have read with much interest
the report of the Adiutant General OF your
State. and congratulate you upon the enor-
nous increase you have been able to show in
the number of ''marksmen.' I think that your
success will more than equal anything that
was ever able to obtain. I am sorry to say
that New York has last year gone back in this
respect, the number of marksmen being. only
about 2UOO against 1899 in 1879. 1 would call
your attention to the circular enclosed and
hope that you will do what you can to give us
some representations from Maine upon the
team which is to moet the English volunteers.
Also that you will try and have Maine repre-
sented in the match for the Hilton Shield"
Very truly yours,
