March 24.
dear Charles:
I have just sent your name to Cabot as a member of the drill
club. You will have to pay Salignac six dollars; there is a fee of twenty-five
cents a month to the man who cleans the guns, hence called quartermaster. If it
is convenient for you to come round at 11 tomorrow (over Jones, Louis, &
Ball's, No. 20) or a few minutes before eleven, I will meet and introduce you. But
you cannot take your first drill at that hour, — and if you are pressed for
time, I will find what the hour for the new comers is, and let you know. We are
to move this week to a hall in Sudbury St., because the floor where we are is
not safe.
