notable item/thing
situations of the frontiers require a greater number of troops
officers of the late Federal Regiment would be very sanguine
relying sir on your friendship to many of them be certain of employment
intention in writing you at this moment is to request that if the inspectors are not already appointed and you are not under any engagements
be so obliging as to nominate me for one of these posts to the President
Military Esatblishment lately made by Congress for the United States requires so small a number of officers & men that the Expectants in this part of the Continent give up all hopes of being employed
Secretary at War
