Regiments of the Maryland Line as they may think proper, to serve
in the Guard over the Prisoners at Frederick Town, or to join
Armands Corps, in Case you can get a Captaincy in it : otherwise, if
they prefer the Horse Service, they must join Lees Legion. As soon
as you let us know the Determination of the Men, we will furnish
