Your letter of the 10th inst. at hand, and
in reply would say that have vacancy

pleased to have you with us. The letter OF
your troop will be H. Please send roster
of your troop at once, giving names, ages

call about to be issued. Very truly yours

thing in case the regiment is called out
and given chance at the enemy.
