I should wish you to bring me to view
desirous of being in a permanent & respectable situation of fifteen hundred or a thousand dollars a year
I am moderate in my views, a little will suffice
to have the Militia properly organized the Federal Government must divide the whole Militia into four Grand Divisions
a Major General and a DA General
B General
salary
proper allowance of rations & forage when in the field
their great officers to be appointed by the President, and paid by the Continent and only accountable to them
Subordinate officers to be appointed and paid by their respective states
this will give you a respectable and efficient Militia
the present is only a rope of sand.
