Title
Under-Age Musicians and Invalids
Description
In Capt. Eddins' and Capt. Bishop's Companies there are musicians who are as young as 8 years old so the Secretary of War has apparently given his permission to enlist boys. Rather than discharging invalids, garrison duties should be found for them.
