I send you under advice from the Secretary of War a lot of blank commissions to be used in supplying such vacancies as may be created among the officers under your command by death, resignation or otherwise, You will please advise me when you have occasion to use any of the blanks so that the Register here may be correctly kept
I sent you some months since a similar package to this by mail & as I have not since heard from it fear it has been lost Lieut Bradford of the State Fencibles is charged with the delivery of this package.
