The Non-commissioned officers & privates are to be [undecipherable: raised?] by voluntary Enlistment, as there are no officers for the State to [undecipherable] volunteers — Will it not be Expedient that the recruiting officers receive from the War Office the particular terms & encouragements given to the [strikethrough: [undecipherable]] volunteers, by the Act of Congress as the act of the 3^d of Oct last hath only a general reference to the former — Soldiers in this State are always anxious to see the terms & encouragements offered, hold out [undecipherable] them in the most explicit manner — With Sentiments of proper Consideration & Esteem I am Sir your humble Serv^t S.
