Governor Washburne:

Dear Sir:

At a meeting of my command last evening, 37 members responded aye, and voted that they were ready for any call that the Executive might make upon them without delay. I have notified all members that are absent to return and have taken measures to have the Company filled at once to the required quota.

The Orderly Sergeant of the company wished to be excused last evening, and was voted out of the Company and hissed from the Hall.

I am, Sir,
Very Respectfully Your Ob’t. Servant
M.F. Wentworth
Capt., Co. A Artillery, Third Div.
