The document reads, in part: “ … The General Order of the 24th of March last required a meeting of the officers of the several Regiments to be held for the purpose of considering the expediency of condensing the companies in them. So as to make their organization uniform as near as might be to the United State Law … I am directed by the Commander in Chief to inform you that it is extremely desirable that the reports containing the opinion of the officers in every Regiment according to the terms [?] of the order a copy of which is herewith enclosed should be made to this department before the meeting of the council … The Law passed at the last winter session of the Legislature gave the governor and council the power to annex the several companies of cavalry and artillery to the Regiments of the infantry, if it should appear to them to be expedient, if any new arrangements of those corps under that Law are contemplated it is desirable that the petitions for that purpose should also be presented … ”Usual folds.
