J. RUTLEDGE TO B> G.
CHARLES TOWN, Feb. 12th, 1780,
SIR:
I desire that you will immediately embody one-third of your regiment and procure as many volunteers as you can from it, properly armed and prepared to proceed, and send a Field Officer with them to Charles Town, with the utmost despatch.
I am in haste, sir,
your most obedient servant,
P. S. Volunters serving as drafted militia shall have the same pay and allowance of salt, as these militia. Pray have the inclosed resolutions generally and speedily made known throughout your regiment.
