John M. Forbes to Colonel Richard Borden, April 17, 1861

Boston, April 17,1861.
To Colonel Borden, Fall River:

We send the four hundred men at two. Count upon your hurrying up. Must go right on board and start to-night, even at some extra cost. Massachusetts must keep up her end, and you are the man to do it.

J. M. Forbes.
