Recruiting and Pay
Description
Pay and clothing for Rickard's company are on their way. Men whose term with the military ends and who do not renew their contract are to receive civilian clothing and some money. Pickering advises him to begin recruiting as soon as possible to replace those men whose term of enlistment will soon expire, and offers some advice.
