Enclosed is a letter or memorial from Mr [undecipherable] late created at the [undecipherable] France.
Enclosed is a letter from General Peleg Wadsworth. A memorial of the select men of Livermore — another of the Selectmen of Turner — a petition of a committee &an association of about 60 men. All these are amply sufficient to justify me in the appointment of the officers of the Turner & Livermore federal volunteer company of Cavalry & I pray you to send them commissions accordingly.
