[Council to the Lieuts. of the several Counties]

Sir A Committee of the House of Delegates have applied to us for
the Number of Recruits enlisted in this State under the Act for re-
cruiting the Quota of Troops &^ca The Recruiting Officers have not
made their Returns though we have requested them to do it, which
is the Cause of our troubling you to procure Lists from the several
Field Officers of your County, of the Men passed by them and to
transmit them together with a List of those passed by yourself imme-
diately to this Board, that the Committee may make their Report,
which cannot be done, 'til you and the Lieutenants of the other
Counties favour us with the Returns. The Importance of the Recruit-
ing Service will induce you to send the Lists as soon as possible that
proper Measures may be taken this Session, if the Deficiency should
be considerable, to fill up our Quota
