you desire the three companies now here to be
sent on in their present condition? it so Telegraph
me Monday on receipt of this and they will be
forwarded on Tuesday morning if so desired,
I refer you to my letters of the 29th & 31st May
and the 1st of June for the condition of the
companies now here, and would advise that
they should be kept at drill until they receive
their Cartridge Boxes, Scabbards and Knapsacks,
The companies from Amherst & Nelson I expect
to report on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings

county I expect to report this week by consent of
Maj Genl Lee,
