notable phrase
satisfied with your application to Doctor Glentworth for his attention to your men when sick, but in this business it is necessary that you stipulate with him the terms on which his visits are to be made and inform me thereof
desire to be iformed how long it will be according to your present prospects before you will have enlisted the number of men directed in your instructions
what time you think you shall be ready to march
soldiers whose times of servie have expired and who shall not re-enlist will receive the amount of clothing due them at the same time that they receive their pay
hope you will be able to receive soon the monies necessary for continuing the recruiting service in solid coin
depreciated paper will by no means answer your purpose
gives me pleasure to find that the old ones are continued
respect to the clothing you request for a cadet you will appropriate one of the suits that are to be sent on to complete your company's clothing
your favors
your accounts and weekly return enclosed have been duly received
received officially the appointment of the Pennsylvania officers
