                   Gentlemen:
                             Capt. Mantz informs me that his Company will be
               ready to march by the 20th of this Instant if he can be supplied with
               canteens, camp kettles and a few guns. Therefore I hope you will send
               up some money by the bearer hereof in order to purchase the guns and
               canteens for they may be had here for the cash. No camp kettles are to
               be had here, therefore hope you will give orders concerning them and
               to what place he is to march and you will greatly oblige
                                   Yr Humble Servant,
                                                         C. Beatty.
