I see an order in the dis-
patch of yesterday that all Vol comps. shall forthwith
repair to the place of rendevous. I am making prepara
-tions to come to charlottesville on monday morning and
I have not more than forty eight members now, but
I am going to work for as many as I can get. I send Mr
Mann my secretary to see you and he will
give you any information you may desire
and send me full particulars back by him

Yrs Respectfully
James W Timberlake

To Col Wm.H. Fry

P.S The comp is already organized at 411
