Title
Stationing a Small Party at Easton
Description
"...I am not anxious that any part of your force should be stationed at Easton if you think it of importance to keep the whole united. It would however be a strong motive to the stationing of a small party at Easton if the recruiting service could be benefitted by the measure. If it is not convenient at present to reinforce your detachment but as I am not apprehensive of an attack on your troops from the disaffected of the country, I should have no objection on that score to your sending a company to Easton if on other accounts you should deem it advisable..."
